The scientifically-proven method for understanding emotions and using them in a way that will help our children - and ourselves - thrive

Virtually everything that has ever happened in your life - good, bad, happy, frustrating, depressing, joyous - was influenced by how you dealt with your feelings. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? Did you fly off the handle? Were you paralysed by indecision? Or, did you keep calm under pressure and flourish? How you responded likely determined what happened next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, a fixed part of ourselves. Rather, it is a skill that can be taught and refined across our lives. Marc Brackett, noted psychologist and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, provides a set of practical, evidence-based strategies to help readers use their feelings wisely to nurture healthy relationships, achieve career goals, and attain greater wellbeing. At the heart of his message is acceptance; there is no such thing as a bad emotion - only ones you don't understand and don't yet know how to direct in positive, intentional ways.We all have the power to decide how we will respond to what life throws at us. By honing our emotion regulation skills, we can increase our chances of achieving success in all facets of our lives. Dealing With Feeling will help you become the best version of yourself.
