From Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the bestselling bookPermission to Feel, comes an essential guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives.

Success in virtually every aspect of lifecareer, friendship, love, and familyis determined mainly by one thing: how we deal with emotions. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? Did you fly off the handle? Were you paralyzed by indecision? Did you engage in behaviors that undermined your best intentions? Or did you exhibit grace under pressure and flourish? How you responded likely shaped what happened next. But emotion regulation isnt a fixed trait, as many believe. It is a set of skills and strategies that must be learned, practiced, and refined over a lifetime.

Marc Brackett examines his own challenges dealing with emotions, explains the latest science of emotion regulation, and provides a set of practical, evidence-based strategies to help us use our feelings wisely to nurture healthy relationships, achieve ambitious goals, and experience greater well-being. At the heart of his message is acceptance: There are no bad emotionsonly emotions we dont understand or know how to direct in positive, intentional ways.

The good news? 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 Feelingwill show you how to work with your and others' emotionsnot against themso you can become the best version of yourself and lift others up too.
