What Does "Fine" Feel Like?

In an age of social distancing and the isolation of the cyber age, we have learned to communicate in short acronyms and one-word responses. What emotions are masked by the word "fine"? How often does it turn out that "fine" really doesn't mean fine? This book offers a unique, innovative, and clever approach to emotional growth and the vocabulary that comes with it. More importantly, it fosters the confidence that comes with self-acceptance. No matter how we are feeling, good or bad, we are indeed fine. It's all right to acknowledge our emotions, ride them out, and move on, continuing to interact with those we love.
