The importance of suffering

James Davis considers emotional suffering an integral part of what it means to live and develop as a human being, and not a mental health problem that only requires psychotherapy or antidepressants or cognitive therapy. Therefore, this book offers a new perspective on emotional discontent and discusses how we can deal with it clinically, personally, and socially to discover its productive value. The book explores the importance of suffering through a relational theory to understand emotional suffering, indicating that suffering does not stem from one aspect of our lives, but is often a result of how we relate internally to the world in terms of our personal biology, habits, and values, and externally in terms of our society, culture, and the world around us.
