Emotions are very short-lived feelings that come from a known cause. They are displayed through sudden physical body language and facial expressions, such as by smiling when happy or crying when sad. Different types of emotions include: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, surprise, and disgust.

According to the American Psychological Association (APA), emotion is defined as “a complex reaction pattern, involving experiential, behavioral and physiological elements.” Emotions are how individuals deal with matters or situations they find personally significant.

Emotional experiences are relative – two people experiencing the same experiences will almost never have the same emotional response because the response is based on what we experienced before, and how we processed those events.

While the expressive component of emotion has been widely studied, it remains unclear whether or not men and women differ in other aspects of emotion. Most researchers agree that women are more emotionally expressive, but not that they experience more emotions than men do.

Emotions are powerful forces. They determine our outlook on life based on the events occurring around us. They allow us to empathize with other humans, perhaps to share in joy or in pain. Whichever emotion you feel on a given morning generally shapes how you feel throughout your entire day.

 Some emotions are positive. Think of happiness, joy, interest, excitement, gratitude, and love. These positive emotions feel good.

 Negative emotions — like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-criticism, fear, or rejection — can be difficult, even painful at times.

This book throws light on the tough battle fought by women in their lives. These are real life experiences shared directly by the strong and brave warriors.  The book carries 31 soulful experiences of eminent Indian writers on how life taught them precious lessons in their emotional battles.

 All the stories are touching stories making the reader to experience feelings and emotions alongside the characters. The situation in the story might be different from the reader's everyday life, but the emotions evoked by the events are highly relatable to most people.

Women in every role she adores – daughter, sister, wife, mother, DIL, friend, counsellor, doctor, Teacher, she is emotionally involved and associated with the other person in the relationship. In these stories too, the women donning multiple roles have evolved over time and found ways to conquer their emotions.

This book bears a heavy responsibility of spreading the message of support and resilience for the women out there facing emotional hardships.

In the world of Literature, this book will peak with its voice and theme. As themes are the backbone of storytelling, providing depth and meaning that resonate with readers on a profound level. In literature, themes explore universal concepts, emotions, and ideas that connect us all as human beings.

  4. I am fascinated by your intro to the post on the research outcomes of emotions.

    So, men and women experience emotions similarly, but their emotional responses depend on what they experienced before and how they processed those events.

    So, is it possible to conclude that the emotional responses of people having different cultural experiences differ because what they experience and how they process them are different?

    Then, I doubt whether an open-minded woman can change the emotional responses of a man brought up in restricted ways?

  16. Loved the way you introduced the book, Anuradha. No two emotions and no two reactions to an experience are the same. We hope the book and the series builds into a resource for women and perhaps men too. Thank you for being a part of the blog tour and sharing your thoughts about the book.
