Forgotten Wisdom is the new ‘Emotional Intelligence’ if written with the soul of a poet as Kerry Cue combines the cold facts of science with words that shimmer with life on the page. She uses the new science of the brain to explain that you must shut off the little chatty voice in your head and use Right brain thought to understand your emotions. Cue is an essayist. Each chapter in the book stands alone addressing some major issue such as success, self-image, love, loss, anxiety, anger, addiction and more. The story of her eight years of benign madness is marbled through each chapter progressing towards happiness. Cue explains why the words ‘Cheer up’, ‘Don’t worry’, ‘Forget him’ or ‘Relax’ have no impact on your emotions. Moreover, you need a different language to gain insight into your, sometimes jumbled, emotional thinking. You need the Language of Emotion. You know these words, but have forgotten how to use them. It is your forgotten wisdom this book seeks to address.
