Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions So They Don't Control You

I have read many of Joyce's books. Each time I finish one I feel a little more stronger in my faith and my life in Christ. Thank you for another wonderful lesson.

Amazing, full of wisdom and reconnected me with the will of God.

I am 22 years old in college and in a committed 6 year-long relationship. This book has helped me to really develop and work on myself/personal growth. I come from a Christian family and I aim to keep God in my life always and try to make Him top priority. I love how this book includes scriptures and real-life examples so you can get a full understanding of how to control your emotions and not let them control you. This book has helped me to do just that and helped me to be happier! I wrote all over this book with notes and highlighting important sentences I found to hit my heart deeply. I love this book and definitely looking forward to reading her other books. If you are having a hard time working on yourself. this is a great icebreaker to start!

LOVE Joyce and learning how Not to react to my emotions! She's an Awesome motivational speaker and writing ❤️

Well received. Can’t wait to start reading

This book really clarifies thinking and feeling. It is spot on. I have been studying feelings, emotions and thinking for many years now and Joyce really brought all that learning into one inspired whole. Wrote Joyce, "Feelings are not who we are but rather feedback to what we are doing." Too many people take the attitude that we are what we feel which is just backwards. I nearly died three years ago. I was diagnosed with conversion disorder shortly after. Conversion disorder is classified as a mental disease. Conversion disorder has horrible symptoms including inorganic blindness, deafness, impotence, paralysis both para and quadra and the inability to walk even when there is feeling in the legs. I could not walk without a walker not could I get out of bed by myself. I learned conversion disorder has a mental component but it is mostly emotional and feeling disorientation. After many therapists trying to fill my head with mumbo jumbo I was introduced to a therapist orientated me toward my feelings and emotions in a very "Living Beyond Your Feelings" way and I very quickly started functioning again. This book contains many of the lessons I learned in therapy. You cannot go wrong reading and following this book. It will improve the quality of your life the more you exercise the concepts.

As a caregiver to my 91 year old mother, stress, tiredness, strings pulled in different directions by a lot of people, feelings jump all over the place. I pray a lot for God to give me help and I found it in this book. You don't learn it overnight and you have to keep reminding yourself of what Joyce has written to apply to your life. I've found the book so helpful, I've send one as a gift to a friend whose family member had cancer and is going through some difficulties. Her and I will share our thoughts together on the book, and hopefully uplift each other as Joyce teacher in a joyful manner. If you care for someone or even if you don't and have difficulty at work or any social setting, this book can help you to!

LOVE, this book - it is just what I needed at this time in my life. I'm not finished reading it yet, but once I do I plan to looking into a way to use it for a basis for a Life Group Study (Bible study). I only wish it had a workbook to go with it - this is a great topic and as always Joyce has great insight and advise for directing those of us who get stuck in our "feelings." Whether you are a person who is very emotional and has a tendency to let your feeling run your life, or you are the opposite and your feelings have little or not play into how or why you do things, this book could be of help. Prayer as you read and let the Holy Spirit guide and heal your heart, feelings and open doors for a spiritually healthier you.

Great book to r dad for all stages of life

Great read, lots of sharing from Joyce, I love that scripture is quoted for you to go to and see. God does speak in many ways

JOYCE MEYER IST EINE SUPER AUTORIN, MAN KOMMt Gott sehr nahe ihre bucher sind immer verstandlich fur jeden. Täglich Hilfestellung im leben

Au moment où j'écris ces lignes, il y a déjà 89 commentaires élogieux rédigés en anglais. Je devrais m'effacer mais il me reste un rôle essentiel à jouer : faire découvrir Joyce Meyer au public francophone. J'ai découvert cette prédicatrice évangélique sur CNBC le dimanche matin. Ma connaissance suffisante de l'anglais m'a permis de découvrir un personnage extraordinaire. Joyce Meyer c'est la Tante Jojo qui aurait une tonne de bon sens et un franc-parler sans limite. Son Nouveau Testament sous le bras elle parcourt les aléas de la vie en interpellant ses auditeurs avec une franchise déconcertante. Quand on la connaît, on comprend mieux son engagement. Sa vie n'a pas été rose, loin de là, mais elle a choisi de faire face et de partager son expérience avec vous, avec moi, avec tous. Avec Joyce ça cogne. On n'est pas là pour minauder et tourner autour du pot. Dans ce livre, elle part du principe que les émotions ne sont pas bonnes conseillères. Nous devons nous en méfier et les passer au crible de notre esprit critique. Si nous avions en perspective notre résolution à mener une vie généreuse et épanouissante, comme le souhaite Dieu, nous aurions à coeur de gérer au mieux nos émotions. Joyce tape du poing : "Pas de fatalisme ! Vous pouvez choisir !" Pour qui est chrétien, sait lire l'anglais et souffre de ses pulsions émotionnelles, il y a là des réponses fort utiles. A quand une traduction ?

Despite being an easy read, I haven't finished this book yet (I've had it for a month or so). The truth is I slowed my reading to try to apply the knowledge it presented. It's easy to agree with the concepts and perspectives the author presents but a lot harder to follow through. That being said, it contains excellent advice and I often write out reminders to myself from the chapters on post its to keep them in mind. Ultimately, I would recommend it to anyone with trouble controlling their emotions or going through tough circumstances.
