A little book with big ideas, the I Can book distills a unique and comprehensive definition of emotion literacy, a term coined by its author in 1992. In twelve brief, densely-written chapters, Pamela's manifesto captures and characterizes her concepts behind emotion literacy. The foundational basis for her theatrical, musical and literary works for Emotion Literacy Advocates, this plain-English book directly encourages self-transparency and full-spectrum communication.
"According to the language of feelings, we all have our own dictionary. Though feelings, in essence, are universal, our filters through which we know and express feelings can be unique. Have you read your dictionary today? What words can you add to your dictionary to pave the way for a deeper, more cooperative self-understanding that fuels the most resource-efficient attendance to needs?"
