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.

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.

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"

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.

This intriguing little book -- less than 300 pages -- contains precisely what the title says: one thousand fleeting moments for which there is no single word to describe them. Whimsical, occasionally edge, melancholy and exultant in equal part, this is a lovely sort of coffee table book that invites one to thumb through and share.
Hand lettered and illustrated by Ray Fenwick, each feeling is articulated in a different font, punctuated with images and graphic elements. (You can click on the pictures for a more hi-res view.)
The feelings range from embarrassing to ethereal. Some favorites of mine:
188: The panic that you might not make it to the bathroom on time.
359: The disappointment that that smile was meant for someone else.
OR, one I can relate to all too much: 920: The helplessness in the face of your cat's whims.
There's a helpful index at the end which categorizes the various options: accident feelings, British feelings, red wine feelings, train-platform feelings, etc. The book has a great hand feeling, too: French flaps, and a slightly heavier paper inside, like a sketch-book.
A lovely gift-y sort of book for someone who struggles to articulate their feelings or those who are very good at it, as well as fun kind of graduation, house-warming, or birthday gift. Those who are into illustration might also enjoy this. My wife and I have been having fun picking out one feeling to sum up our day, and could be a neat sort of way to diary through life, noting what feeling you have when (and perhaps how often!).
