One of the things I often tell people is that there are really only 6 emotions;

Joy

Love

Surprise

Fear

Sadness

Anger

Everything else we feel is usually some derivative or variation of these 6.

Attached is a chart that I have been using that I really like, which comes from the Junto Institute for Entrepreneurial Leadership. I have no affiliation with the Junto Institute, I just really like the graphic they have put together.
