Whatever Arises, Love That by Matt Kahn (non-fiction)
This book provides a really practical tool for those times when we’re going through tough and newly-arising emotions.
As is the case with many books I read, I don’t entirely agree with everything in the book. After all, I am both open-minded and constructively skeptical, which you can see as a clear undercurrent in all my blog posts. And I always encourage folks to also take a similar approach of open-mindedness and critical thinking.
Having said that, the main tool offered in this book is powerful. It’s about telling raw or otherwise arising emotions in yourself, “I love you. I love you. I love you.”.
Sounds simplistic? It’s actually very powerful, not to mention psychologically smart. And it helps whether you’re interested in learning greater self-acceptance, self-love, forgiveness, if you’re grieving, angry, stressed.
