In this work, professional psychologist and bestselling author Su Shun-Hui cracks the code on how to manage body and mind energies effectively, helping readers reclaim true happiness and contentment in their lives.

Nationally renowned psychologist Su Shun-Hui has already drawn on her over twenty-five years of psychological counseling experience to author multiple bestselling books on motivational psychology and personal growth. Now, her insights, gleaned through her work across community, university and hospital settings, into the powerful psychological and physiological effects of emotional negativity are platformed in this important work on the issue and real-life impacts of “affect exhaustion”.

This work in three parts begins by defining affect exhaustion before moving on to help readers wrestle with this topic and then achieve deeper understandings of both their own emotional issues and effective strategies for self-healing. Su works solid theoretical knowledge into highly relatable, everyday issues such as family pressures, workplace competition, and media-based incitement, social-media controversies, and the dichotomous relationship many women have with modern and traditional values. Readers learn that affect exhaustion, beyond tying affected individuals in knots, can impact interpersonal relationships and even pull at the fabric of social stability and trust. Little wonder why effectively managing your body and mind energies is so important!

This book gently but clearly reminds readers to prioritize their personal needs and goals. After all, only by fully knowing yourself and your emotions can you actively avoid becoming mired in affect exhaustion of your own making, gain better control over your body and mind, positively influence others in your orbit, and, ultimately, learn to recognize others with affect exhaustion and safely navigate your relationships with them. This book has something of value to give all who value and seek to better their emotional health.
