Reseña del libro "Energize Your Emotions for Life: Practical Self-Leadership for Satisfying Relationships and Friendships (en Inglés)"
Ken Fox writes, ""Walking a path of emotional health is the most significant thing I can do if I want to nurture and promote a culture of change and growth across the tapestry of my life."" Energize Your Emotions for Life is entirely about what we can do to bring change to our lives. It is about becoming our own best friend, not in some self-absorbed way, but as a foundation for cultivating satisfying relationships with others. Instead of seeing emotions like anger or fear as harmful, the author shows how our emotions can be a friend who has incredibly much to offer each one of us. Based on extensive interdisciplinary research in affective neuroscience, biblical studies, leadership, philosophy, and psychology, this practical, easy-to-understand, self-leadership book is written for anyone who wants to walk a path of emotional health and self-care. As a biblical scholar, Ken Fox has done a thorough, critical study of emotions in the Bible. Energize Your Emotions for Life is also informed by years of pastoral ministry, mentoring and counseling students, and the author's own journey of living transformative self-leadership. ""Ken Fox shares how we can walk a path of emotional health and become best friends with ourselves as a foundation for loving others creatively and without sacrifice. Energize Your Emotions for Life shows how we can manage and express emotions like anger, fear, sadness, and shame; it is also about cultivating joy and love. As Ken says, this self-leadership book is about what we can do to bring deep transformative change to our lives."" --Ruby Luo, certified professional counselor, Director of New Creature Enterprise Ltd. ""Self-leadership is an oft-neglected discipline, as society's idea of leadership tends to focus outwards: toward others. As an Asian Christian, I found it refreshing that Ken's book balanced the noble emotions of joy and love with emotions that are usually suppressed: anger, shame, and sadness, thereby validating these as well. Energize Your Emotions for Life is a concise, practical, timely, relevant must-read for those of us who need self-care as we seek to manage ourselves and others on a daily basis."" --Anne De Jesus-Ardina, Alliance Graduate School, Philippines Kenneth A. Fox has taught New Testament and leadership in graduate schools in Canada and the Philippines. He has served in academic leadership and pastoral ministry, and mentored leaders, pastors, and students. He is presently researching and writing a book on Paul of Tarsus.
