Five years ago, Lauren Martin was sure something was wrong with her. Life was good but every day she wrestled with an emotional roller coaster that often left her irritable, frustrated and disappointed in herself. Lauren set off on a journey to better understand moodiness, the hold it had on her and how she could turn her moods around faster and faster. The result is her new book, The Book of Moods: How I Turned My Worst Emotions Into My Best Life.   Guest Bio Lauren Martin is a Philadelphia-based writer.
