Resumen
In narrative medicine practices, emotional education and reading represent two intrinsically connected elements for the countless reasons that describe the potential of reading in promoting well-being and quality of life, self-realization and planning of one's future. The chapter starts from some theoretical references that trace the reasons for the importance of reading from early childhood and takes a deliberately methodological turn when the discussion on emotions is addressed precisely to bring to light a possible educability and management of them to encourage well-being and interpersonal relationships. The contribution intends to reflect on the development of emotional education through the practice of reading to give a meaningful orientation to our human form, to our formation, to our taking care of ourselves to build together answers for the future starting from the reflection on the actions to be taken to re-plan existences from an inclusive and transformative perspective.
