Heb jij dat ook?!

by Mario Giordano

Er zijn ontiegelijk veel emoties die we allemaal kennen, maar die we slechts met moeite onder woorden kunnen brengen. Onze emotionele woordenschat is zelfs verbazingwekkend beperkt. Hoe leg je bijvoorbeeld uit dat de ANGST om door een donker bos te lopen iets anders is dan de ANGST voor spreken in het openbaar? En wie kent niet het ZENUWACHTIGE GEVOEL als iemand de kaartjes komt controleren, zelfs als het jouwe gewoon geldig is? In Heb jij dat ook?! heeft Mario Giordano 1000 bijzondere en voor iedereen herkenbare emoties steeds in één zin weten te vangen. Wees voorbereid op grote en kleine geluksmomenten, veroorzaakt door het lezen van dit nieuwe standaardwerk van de gevoelswereld

!!!!!!!!! - the feeling of reading a book that identifies feelings you have that you never thought to name! Funtastic quick read that will make you laugh!

[Fareya · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book is essentially what it claims to be - an amusing collection of a thousand feelings for which words don't exist. Hand-lettered, numbered and compiled in a charming fashion with creative illustrations and imaginative graphic elements, 1000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names was a joy to flip through. It is not a self-help book, or an inspirational one and neither does it give any advise on emotions, it is simply an assortment of a thousand different feelings, most of which we all go through at some point in our life.

A lot of these one-liners made me laugh and nod. Quite a few made me shake my head as well, because I didn't agree with those. But nonetheless,every sentence is filled with emotions and situations most of which we are all familiar with and yet can't put a name on. I'll list a few favorite ones.

316 - The YEARNING for the world to stop turning and this perfect summer afternoon to last forever.
353 - The HAPPINESS of being back home
383 - The JOY of laughing with your parents
438 - The EAGERNESS for the first coffee in the morning
466 - The CURIOSITY to see what will happen if I press that red button there
640 - The IRRITATION of standing in line
668 - The CHILDISH DEFIANCE when you meet with a barrage of criticism
765 - The JOY of waking up and realizing you get to doze for another half an hour
810 - The LONGING for something unattainable
825 - The HOPE that inner serenity will come by itself as you get older
888 - The ANGER at people who always know exactly what's best for you
929 - The ANTICIPATION of a package you ordered online
957 - The ELATION of having this day all to yourself
992 - The THRILL of suddenly hearing your native language in a foreign country
999 - The GLEE of having completely screwed up a task you resented

One other interesting thing about this book is its index which classifies these feelings into entertaining categories like bottled-up feelings, cat feelings, daydream feelings, haircut feelings, ice-cream feelings, matrix feelings, too-late feelings and many many more. There are also a few blank pages towards the end where one could add some of their own emotions that the author missed.

Vey different, a little quirky and mostly funny, 1000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names was a fun read. It would make a great gift for most occasions, would be a wonderful book to take along on a picnic or just keep in one's personal collection to flip through occasionally.

I love this little book of 1000 feelings. Most are true for me. Not the ones about children but the ones about having an older brother and sitting on the couch with them then their untimely death. I miss my brother. Please check it out it is a quick read and you may find points that reflect on your life.

Dit was echt een superleuk boek, maar ja, niet eentje die je in een keer uitleest, dus ik heb sporadisch gelezen wanneer ik zin had in weer een berg gevoelens. Wat dat is wat dit boek is, een boek over gevoelens. Een heerlijk feest van herkenning (en misschien wat schaamte). Ik lag regelmatig wel dubbel, zat met mijn hoofd te knikken omdat ik het er helemaal mee eens was, of mijn hoofd aan het schudden omdat ik me afvroeg wie dit als gevoel kon hebben. :P

Hier zijn 4 gevoelens uit het boek:
693: Het optimisme wanneer je tieners een echt boek ziet lezen.
384: De hoop dat niemand heeft gemerkt dat je een scheet hebt gelaten.
632: De moordneigingen tegenover de kat die net aan alle borrelhapjes heeft gelikt.
188 De paniek omdat je het toilet misschien niet op tijd haalt.

Dus zeker een aanradertje, ik hoop dat de schrijver met nog eens 1000 gevoelens komt.

He should have named some of those feeling. Smh ..

Really cute illustrations. You will find yourself nodding to agree while reading this book.

[Kara Sabbagh · Rating 3 out of 5]

I found this book to be “meh” at best. Didn’t finish it page to page. Good for an ice breaker / conversation starting thing maybe, but could have taken the route of “less is more”. Had there been a hundred pages only, with more illustrations or attention to each, rather than this infinite list, maybe I would have taken to it more. I also don’t know that the title is the most accurate for everything inside. I was almost expecting a type of thing where there IS a word with a definition in another language, but not our own. No equivalent. It was really just “situations that may or may not have happened to you.” A lot of entries surrounding a feeling and just giving a situation to go with it. Should have just paid more attention to the best or most creative. I really did like the cover/ actual physical feel of the book though.

It's sometimes hard to find the right words for how you're feeling. This book describes feelings so perfectly.

**I received a free copy of this book from the publisher for my honest review**

The title pretty much explains what this one is all about. It's not the kind of book to sit down and read in one sitting, but would be a lovely gift or coffee table book. It's the kind of book that is nice to dip in and out of. Many of the 1,000 feelings could be used as jumping off points for journaling, other writing, or even just discussion among friends. I could relate to (almost) all of the 1,000 feelings listed and many of them conjured up vivid memories. This is a fun book I would definitely recommend.

1,000 FEELING FOR WHICH THERE ARE NO NAMES is exactly what the title implies. Mario Giordano has compiled 1,000 different types of emotions and feelings and has applied them to everyday occurrences in life and love.

e.g.

The Inexplicable AVERSION to answering this one stupid email

The lifelong YEARNING to be taken seriously by your father

The DISMAY at having forgotten something very important.


Although the feelings and emotions are nothing new-everyone has experienced one or more of the examples- but Mario Giordano's collection is akin to a coffee table collection whereby a quick look may make you smile or thinking-hmmmmmm-so true.

If you are wizened and old and jaded, you will think "analog clickbait."

If you are in college, this will blow your gd mind I think. The handwritten graphics are a visual treat.

I was looking for something like this:
The nauseous anticipation mixed with shame mixed with magical thinking mixed with hope and fear and the feeling of life when your first love comments on your friend's facebook post.

i.e. this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mJG0l...

This is a simpler, more fun version that a semiotics professor would have a field day analyzing. Also a pre-poetry kinda deal. Like what you read before you read poetry.

A cute little book thats does what it sets out to do and nothing more. Basically one of those "wow, that's so relatable" Twitter accounts, except in book form. It's not something you read cover to cover, but flipping to a random page is always amusing. I particularly relate with "294. The annoyance over this squandered afternoon," so I'll keep this review short.

[Vanessa · Rating 4 out of 5]

Really fun little book. Title describes exactly what it is. Not a novel, just a fun collection of feelings that don't have a good descriptor in the english language. Some of them were a little odd, however. Made me feel like the author was a bit of a religious freak... but most of them are great. Makes me want to make up my own. :)

[Medeia Sharif · Rating 5 out of 5]

It's just as the title says. These are 1,000 feelings that have no exact name. It was really cool flipping through the pages with their interesting fonts and illustrations. I've had many of these emotions, while others I haven't experienced yet. There is a full range of feelings for both genders and people of all ages.

[Bara'ah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love love love this book! It's perfection in the form of pages!! I have to buy it!!!!

[Adee · Rating 5 out of 5]

This short book was so sweet! There were definitely a lot of feelings that I could relate to in this book. The artwork itself was very beautiful yet simple, and I enjoyed that very much.

[Heinrich · Rating 4 out of 5]

1000 Gefühle, für die es keinen Namen gibt, der Titel des von Mario Girodano geschriebenen Buches ist Programm, von Gefühl Nr. 1 "Das GLüCK beim ersten Blick aufs Meer" bis zum Gefühl Nr. 1'000 "Der TRIUMPF, gerade den letzten Satz geschrieben zu haben" habe ich viele Impulse gefunden, beim gelegentlichen "schneuge" (lesen) im Buch, dass sicher 2 Jahre auf meinem Nachtisch lag. Dies ergibt ca 1.3 Gefühle pro Nacht zu überdenken.
Eine beruhigende und gedanklich anregende Tätigkeit kann ich gerne empfehlen

[Janet Bbgr · Rating 3 out of 5]

De titel is niet helemaal juist anders hadden alle zinnen moeten beginnen met "het gevoel dat je hebt als..." en ze beginnen juist allemaal met een gevoel.
Best grappig boekje om je tussendoor even mee te vermaken.

[Kattie · Rating 3 out of 5]

A cute and kitschy book that was fun to check out.

[Sue · Rating 1 out of 5]

Such potential. Wasted.

This was a cheap version of The Book of Awesome. Just random thoughts with real emotions and different situations.

[Allie · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fonts are marvelous, emotions/ descriptions spot on!

Honest thoughts that all people have at one time or the other. A nice reminder of different moments in life that excited us, scared us, and made us feel safe.

Quick read with some interesting feelings.

[Melissa Naomi Quinn · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's a cute little book to read when you don't want to have any plots but still want to have a little fun

[Chrissy (The Every Free Chance Reader) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Did I enjoy this book: I did enjoy this book.

It’s different. It’s quirky. It’s thought-provoking. There were quite a few times that I was nodding along, thinking that I had felt that way at some point. There were some feelings that had me shaking my head. There were some that made me laugh.

I took this book to a family picnic and we all read from it. It would make a great party game or conversation starter.

I think my favorite feeling was this: “The dread of suffering from anatadaephobia (the constant fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is watching you.”

I bet you never thought of that . . .

Would I recommend it: Sure. It was a fun read that makes for good conversation.

You won't be able to escape yourself in "1,000 Feelings for Which There Are No Names" by Mario Giordano. We're all in there somewhere--along with everyone we've ever met. The range of emotions, shared in random, right-on thoughts, is amazing. Once I started reading this book, I couldn't stop until I read it through. I have picked it back up numerous times--sometimes just reading where it fell open, and other times looking up specific topics in the index. The index itself is an entertaining, revealing read. The colorful, casual red, white & blue look of the book is relaxed and inviting, as is the varied, hand-lettered look of the text. Thoroughly charming and appealing, "1000 Feelings" is also thought-provoking and enlightening. A wonderful book to give as a gift and also to keep for yourself.

With such a wide range of unnamed emotions to list there is a bit of repetition here and there but overall there will be plenty of 'nodding your head' in understanding type moments when you come across an undefinable feeling described so succinctly by Mario Giordano.

The expressive yet understated hand lettering by Ray Fenwick also helps by adding great visual flair to the volume.

[Tracey S · Rating 3 out of 5]

From the sublime:

"The panic at the inability to hold onto this one moment"

to the ridiculous (but funny, and a bit true):

"The fear of having a twin somewhere who's being sought as a serial killer by Interpol"
