The chapters among every page will help you consider your emotions, thoughts, etc. This book has been written with great compassion towards the reader's emotions, as as the author himself. You're looking for a book that talks about controlling your emotions, and the effect of what will happen if you do not acknowledge what's set before you, many mistakes would be made. Think of it as a psychological problem, because it is. I loved this book; i would recommend anyone who's trying understand their hurt, and how to resolve them.
