Mind: everything is fine! You have a job, a roof over your head, food and friends. Emotions: something is so sad.

If you've experienced something similar and couldn't figure out what it was about, this book is for you. In it, journalist Mark Livin and psychotherapist Ilya Poludyonny talk about emotions and feelings in simple terms. They teach you how to decipher the messages you receive in a chat with yourself: «You've been sad for a few days now. Pay attention to it. Or: «It seems you are jealous of a friend who has found a new job. Maybe it's time for you to make a change too.

The book is structured into 20 chapters. Each chapter is dedicated to a particular feeling or emotion: anger, envy, resentment, shame, loneliness, etc. The authors present the theory in a popular way, explain the topics using examples from their own lives, and share exercises for working through them. They also talk a lot about current realities.

Mark and Ilya together create the most popular Ukrainian podcast about psychology - — «In Simple Words», which became the reason for writing the book.

P. S. The book does not duplicate the «In Simple Words» podcast. You can read it regardless of whether you listened to the episodes or not. It contains different dialogues, stories, insights. It's deeper, but no less accessible.
