Big Emotion, Little Emotion (book)

"Big Emotion, Little Emotion" by Tamar Chansky explores how adults can effectively manage intense feelings like anxiety, anger, or sadness. The book emphasizes understanding the differences between "big" emotions—powerful, overwhelming feelings—and "little" emotions—more manageable or fleeting. It offers practical strategies to recognize these emotions early, calm the mind, and respond thoughtfully instead of react impulsively. The goal is to transform overwhelming emotional experiences into manageable ones, improving mental well-being and relationships through mindful awareness and coping techniques.
