Energize Your Emotions for Life

Book excerpt: Ken Fox writes, “Walking a path of emotional health is the most significant thing I can do if I want to nurture and promote a culture of change and growth across the tapestry of my life.” Energize Your Emotions for Life is entirely about what we can do to bring change to our lives. It is about becoming our own best friend, not in some self-absorbed way, but as a foundation for cultivating satisfying relationships with others. Instead of seeing emotions like anger or fear as harmful, the author shows how our emotions can be a friend who has incredibly much to offer each one of us. Based on extensive interdisciplinary research in affective neuroscience, biblical studies, leadership, philosophy, and psychology, this practical, easy-to-understand, self-leadership book is written for anyone who wants to walk a path of emotional health and self-care. As a biblical scholar, Ken Fox has done a thorough, critical study of emotions in the Bible. Energize Your Emotions for Life is also informed by years of pastoral ministry, mentoring and counseling students, and the author’s own journey of living transformative self-leadership.
