Feelings Aren't Facts
So STOP Lying to Yourself! (2025)
Your emotions are real...but they’re not always right.
We all have moments when our feelings scream louder than reason. Anxiety convinces us we’re in danger. Guilt whispers that we’re not enough. Anger tells us someone else is to blame. But here’s the truth: feelings aren’t facts and believing everything you feel can keep you stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from reality.
In Feelings Aren’t Facts: So, STOP Lying to Yourself, you’ll learn how to untangle emotional chaos, challenge your inner narrative, and finally get honest with the person who matters most...you. Through real-life stories, practical tools, and a no-BS approach, this book offers a path toward clarity, emotional resilience, and radical self-honesty.
Whether you're tired of being ruled by your moods or simply want to break free from the lies you tell yourself in silence, this is your invitation to feel deeply...without losing yourself in the process.
It’s time to take your power back.
It starts with the truth.
“Emotional maturity begins when you learn to separate your feelings from the truth...it's the key to lasting happiness and true fulfillment." -T.J. Finn
