Description



Book Synopsis



  • The emotional intelligence class you wish you'd had in school - a witty, no-nonsense guide to growing up at any age.



  • Wise, warm, and wonderfully relatable - this book will make you laugh out loud and rethink everything you know about love, work, and yourself.



  • Emotional maturity with a twist of wit: keep your cool, know yourself, and even laugh at life's chaos.


  • We tend to assume we're mature simply because we've reached a certain age. Yet most of us enter adulthood without ever learning what emotional maturity actually involves - or how to cultivate it.
    This book lays out the key psychological traits that define emotional adulthood: a capacity to explain rather than merely react, to forgive others without forgetting ourselves, to see conflict without falling into catastrophe and to live with the painful awareness of our limitations without despair.
    With clarity and compassion, The Ingredients of Emotional Maturity explores emotional responsibility, vulnerability, self-compassion and the art of staying calm. It helps us understand why emotional immaturity can persist long into adulthood and how, with patience and insight, we can outgrow our reactive selves and become more resilient, generous and wise.
    This is a book for anyone who wants to become a better friend, partner, colleague or parent - not through perfection, but through a deeper and kinder understanding of what it truly means to grow up.
