Emotions are beautiful but are also very powerful. They can uplift us at one moment but can sink us really deep the very next. Every coming generation seems to be getting weaker and weaker in handling their emotions and it is heart-breaking to see so many succumbing to suicide or mental health failure. To us not only our emotions are extremely vital but also of our loved ones and each one of us devices his or her own techniques to fare better when thrown out of our comfort zone and I guess experience teaches us the most about how to secure our emotional wellness.

You can read an unimaginable range of true stories here right from a young bride’s exemplary resilience to a wheelchair-ridden young girl’s biography. There’s a counselor giving her heart and soul to her student and there’s a destiny’s chosen child stumbling and weaving back life at every step in life and many many more. They all will touch your soul like never before, giving you precious lessons on emotional wellness.

Review:

Brave Inked Emotions is a collection of 31 stories by women who have gone through various struggles in life but have somehow managed to learn and emerged stronger through it. The book talks about vulnerabilities in different forms. Each story offers invaluable lessons in emotional resilience and strength, reminding us of the beauty and power of the human spirit. Stories felt more like conversations with friends and hit the right amount of emotional cords. The variety of stories this book has to offer is moving.

The writing style is simple and engaging. Each story proves as a practical guidance and source of inspiration for each reader. This felt like a book of every kind of adult. These stories are also proof about how the smiling faces can just be a facade and you can never know what a person might be fighting with till the time they actually talk about it. The book encourages you to embrace your emotions and seek strength to heal from within.

I can go on and on talking about each story but I won’t because I want you to read the book and experience everything yourself.

MY RATING-4/5

Oh So Emo! is a children’s book that can work wonders for people of every age group to help understand their complex emotions in simple words. The book starts with how some monks have to change their location due to Chinese soldiers entering in their homes to take over the area. Doji one of the monks is the youngest of them but holds wisdom of worth more than that and has a speaking bird named Sku to whom he has been sharing with all his teachings to part to the world when time comes. When the monks started walking towards a safer spot for them Doji asks Sku to go and look for his first student who needs his help to understand their emotions.

The stories in the book are woven around children who are unaware of the emotions they feel and how they are impacting them. The book not only holds stories but also dedicated pages for different emotions that one feels, the words we use to describe them, things one can do to not let it consume you and affirmations and space for the reader to pen down their thoughts too. Each emotion is well explained in simple words so that anyone who reads it understands that they are not as big as we make them. Emotions can be controlled or understood and can have a positive impact on our life if handled properly.

The book for me was full of impactful things said so simply that they didn’t seem that difficult. My major takeaway from the book is one does have to be in full control of their emotions but can still not let them overtake them if handle them in the right manner, we are humans and are tend to feel things and even overthink too but can’t change the things we have no control over but we can at least control how they impact us.

What a beautiful children’s book that cannot only be a good fit for all readers but also act as a guide to understand the emotions we tend to make very complex and let them overwhelm and consume us.

I recommend everyone to read this book, it might not answer all your questions but will obviously be of some help.
