The Fundamentals
You and I are both aware of how confusing and overwhelming emotions can be sometimes.
But what if you could explore and truly understand them with an Emotion Wheel?
Robert Plutchik’s and The Feeling’s Wheel
Plutchik’s Wheel of Emotions provides a logical way to make sense of feelings!
The Feeling’s Wheel was developed by American psychologist Robert Plutchik in 1980 as a visual tool to understand his psycho evolutionary theory. I will go on to explain this in detail in Chapter 3.
The Emotion Wheel offers a visual representation of primary emotions, displaying the varying degrees and complexities of different feelings.
As a tool, it can help you put a name to, and come to terms with your emotions in many different contexts, including simply developing greater self-awareness.
I have explained The Feelings Wheel in detail in Chapter 4.
Before you and I dive deeper into our emotional world, let’s get to know the man behind these transformative theories.
