Dealing with Feeling

Brought to you by Penguin.

From Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence, comes a life-changing guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives.

Think back to your most challenging moment – whether in your career, relationships or personal life. Did you lose control from anger? Were you paralysed by fear? Did you isolate yourself due to humiliation?

Whatever your reaction, your emotions most likely determined what you said, or did, next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, an involuntary part of ourselves – it is a skill that must be taught and refined throughout our lives. And there’s no such thing as a ‘bad’ emotion – only the emotions we don’t fully understand or haven’t yet learned to channel in positive, intentional ways.

In Dealing with Feeling, Marc Brackett shares his own journey of emotional growth, explores the latest science behind our emotions and offers practical techniques to help you nurture healthy relationships, tackle life’s challenges and enhance your mental wellbeing.

Life may be unpredictable, but how you respond doesn’t have to be. With the transformative techniques in Dealing with Feeling you will learn to become the best version of yourself.
