In “Unfolding Emotions,” Emma Hepburn likens emotional life to a roller coaster ride—sometimes soaring to the sky, other times falling without brakes. And each person has their own roller coaster ride, driven by their own memories, experiences, traumas, and unique nature.

We can’t control the track, but we can learn to sit more firmly on the sharp turns. The key is to recognize, understand, and stay with every emotion, even the unpleasant ones like anger, anxiety, frustration, and sadness. When we are gentle and patient, emotions can become our trusted companions rather than enemies that derail us.

According to Emma Hepburn, emotions are the central characters in your story, not just a plot point or a side note. They are inherent in memory, reaction, planning for the future, behavior, connection, and most of all, survival.

“How we understand and respond to our emotions is important and can affect our health and happiness throughout our lives. Once we understand our emotions, we will be able to make appropriate decisions about important things, help us deal with the stressors that life throws our way, and help us find meaning in life,” the author asserts.

It can be seen that understanding emotions is an important part of living happily. In “Unlocking Happiness”, Emma Hepburn chose to describe happiness as a sandwich that we eat every day.

The base is the basic things we often forget, such as getting enough sleep, eating enough food, drinking enough water, having a safe space to breathe… The filling is the things that bring joy, inspiration, and meaning to life. Each person has a different filling. The top layer is our belief. This layer, though fragile, governs the entire taste of the cake: if we believe that happiness must be complete and last forever, we will always feel lacking; but if we understand that happiness is small moments of connection with ourselves and others, we will no longer be constantly searching for it.

With her insightful perspective, Dr. Emma Hepburn not only helps us break down the myths about happiness, but also provides us with a practical toolkit to improve and build happiness from within. Instead of painting life in rosy colors, she argues that to fully understand happiness, we need to understand sadness and all the other complex emotions that life “throws” at us.

In an era of constant change and people becoming more and more disconnected from themselves, Emma Hepburn’s “Unlocking Emotions” and “Unlocking Happiness” series are indispensable companions for everyone. If you are lost in the whirlwind of emotions, or tired of not being able to grasp happiness, perhaps it is time for you to stop for a moment, open a page, and start talking to yourself.
