Emotional Literacy for Adults: What We Should’ve Learned in School
We were taught math, science, and history—but not how to manage stress, express our feelings, or navigate conflict with grace. The result? Many adults enter the real world armed with knowledge, but unprepared for the emotional challenges of life, relationships, and work.
Emotional Literacy for Adults is the guidebook we all wish we had growing up. It offers the missing curriculum: practical, accessible tools for understanding emotions, communicating effectively, and cultivating resilience in a world that often prizes productivity over humanity.
In this empowering book, [Your Name] explores how emotional literacy—the ability to recognize, understand, and manage emotions in yourself and others—can transform every area of your life. You’ll discover:

How to identify, name, and process your emotions without judgment

If you’ve ever thought, “Why didn’t anyone teach me this in school?”—this is your chance to finally learn.
