Emotional Integrity by Wayne Quarrier, PhD, presents a comprehensive and thought-provoking exploration of emotions' multifaceted nature. As a scholar of theology, social science, and neuroscience, Quarrier examines the often-neglected topic of emotional expression, challenging prevailing societal assertions and offering a clear understanding of the importance of emotional integrity. The book is divided into eight chapters, each discussing a specific aspect of emotional integrity, from the theological basis to the sociological implications. Quarrier offers a comprehensive review of existing research and theories on emotions. Quarrier draws upon various sources, including psychological studies, biblical teachings, and philosophical frameworks, to present a holistic understanding of emotional experience.
This educational and informative work has much to offer, and the author's critique of prevailing societal assertions about emotions is particularly noteworthy. Wayne Quarrier challenges the notion that certain emotions, such as anger, fear, or sadness, are inherently negative or problematic. Instead, he argues that emotions are neither inherently good nor bad but rather complex responses to our experiences that can be healthily expressed or suppressed. This book emphasizes the importance of emotional validation and acknowledges parents' significant influence on children's emotional development. It also highlights the inconsistencies in how different professions, such as medicine, law, and religion, approach emotions. While the tone can sound academic at times, the writing remains accessible and compassionate. Emotional Integrity is a groundbreaking and informative book with wisdom on one of the things that every human being experiences: emotion. You’ll find insights on understanding and using emotions healthily.
