Autonomy and identity/Emotions, self-knowledge and self-care/ Growth and maturity Starting from the simple description of situations, this book delves into different aspects related to the feelings experienced by adolescents of this century. While people grow and relate to others, sometimes they experience new emotions that are too intense, inexplicable or even ambiguous. In this book, feelings are part of everyday life. Even though the way of understanding and expressing them is very different depending on places and time periods. A simple guide, like that offered by the authors, will always be helpful in understanding them, accepting them and, in this way, growing as individuals.
