The Happiness Project meets So Sad Today in this "hilariously witty, unflinchingly honest" book from Words of Women founder Lauren Martin, as she contemplates the nature of negative emotions -- and the insights that helped her to take control of her life (Bobbi Brown). Five years ago, Lauren Martin was sure something was wrong with her. She had a good job in New York, an apartment in Brooklyn, a boyfriend, yet every day she wrestled with feelings of inferiority, anxiety and irritability. It wasn't until a chance encounter with a (charming, successful) stranger who revealed that she also felt these things, that Lauren set out to better understand the hold that these moods had on her, how she could change them, and began to blog about the wisdom she uncovered. It quickly exploded into an international online community of women who felt like she did: lost, depressed, moody, and desirous of change. Inspired by her audience to press even deeper, The Book of Moodsshares Lauren's journey to infuse her life with a sense of peace and stability. With observations that will resonate and inspire, she dives into the universal triggers every woman faces -- whether it's a comment from your mother, the relentless grind at your job, days when you wish the mirror had a Valencia filter, or all of the above. Blending cutting-edge science, timeless philosophy, witty anecdotes and effective forms of self-care, Martin has written a powerful, intimate, and incredibly relatable chronicle of transformation, proving that you really can turn your worst moods into your best life.

From the time I learned that little girls grew up to become mothers, I was fascinated and intrigued by a woman?s place in life, even to the point of troubling Mother, wondering if I would be able to have children. In my growing up years I had begun to keep a mental log of biographies of great women, their words, and incidents in their lives that had inspired and motivated me. Actively collecting, seeking and recording was a natural transition. Following the counsel of the apostle Paul, I have sought that which is pure, lovely and of good report. I have gathered and gleaned information on this subject from the King James version of the Bible, from libraries, magazines, doctors? offices, wall plaques, journals and biographies; in airplanes, busses and homes.
