Deep dives
The origin of the book and its focus on difficult emotions
Molly West Duffy, the author of the best-selling book 'Big Feelings: How to Be Okay when things are not okay,' explains that the idea for the book arose from personal and professional difficulties experienced by her and her co-author, Liz. Initially, they faced a lack of interest from publishers due to the perception that the topic was niche and depressing. However, when the pandemic hit, publishers recognized the relevance of their book to the experiences of the general public. The book aims to explore how regular individuals can navigate difficult emotions and draws on personal stories to let readers know they are not alone.
