Emotion Made Simple: A New Era of Emotional Clarity Begins September 3, 2025
For decades, emotional mastery has been treated as an elusive skill—reserved for the naturally self-aware or the deeply trained. But what if emotion could be decoded, understood, and used as clearly as any language or instrument? Emotion Made Simple is Dr. Rudy Wietfeldt’s groundbreaking new book, releasing Fall 2025, that brings emotional clarity within reach for everyone. Built on the science of the Homeostatic and Hedonic Emotion Regulation Theory (HERT+), this guide offers a practical, research-based framework for making sense of what we feel—and why.
