About This Book

This second edition of Emotion Amplifiers teaches you to use conditions and states—pain, arousal, dehydration, addiction, etc.— that will make it difficult for acharacter to emotionally self-regulate, setting them up for overreactions, misjudgments, and (hopefully) colossal mistakes they'll have to fix and learn from. Use these 52 amplifiers to force them to face their errors, acknowledge their true feelings, and work through the contradictions at the heart of every inner struggle.
