10 reviews for The Box of Emotions

  1. Dr. Marc –


    I’ve purchased two boxes of these so far. I use them with my graduate counseling students. As a psychologist, I’m well versed in the language of emotions, but there are a few here that I never had heard of., including words from other cultures.

  2. Lau Fernandez –


    The cards are very pretty and have great meanings, it’s easy to read and connect to

  3. Jocelin Pulliam –


    It’s something fun to read and to know more about your feelings.

  4. A. Holder –


    Love the collection emotion words

  5. Amazon Customer –


    I was very excited about these. I had purchased a similar product and bought these to compliment the other set of cards. My first impression was disappointment. The cards are just collection of short essays/commentaries on various emotions (it does state that is what they are in the product description). Ultimately, this is fine but I feel like the essays could have been a bit more insightful. Some of the cards feel like fun facts or historical lessons more than psychological self help tools. I guess these cards can be used in a group to break the ice. Idk I will give them some time and do an update.

  6. NuttyNuts –


    The packing is excellent quality, and well crafted.It is a diverse and vast selections of emotions, however the descriptions lack a bit of depth. It’s usually an etymology of the word, with its modern day usage. I’m likely biased by Brene Brown’s expansive descriptions and this doesn’t really come close. As I said, a good keepsake and definitely a great gift for a teenager/young adult

  7. Kindle Customer –


    I bought this deck of cards new at the new price but wad shipped USED, BENT AND DIRTY CARDS. It didn’t even have the new packaging on it when I go it!!

  8. Tanya Masek Carroway –


    I purchased these cards as new but when I opened the box, some of the cards were bent and have dirt on them.

  9. Amazon Customer –


    The product was already opened and used (cards were bent or creased and box was damaged)

  10. Cory DAmbrosio –


    I received a returned version that nobody inspected prior to sending back out. Cards arrived out of order and crammed back into the box. Card box also has smudges and stains on it.
