Dealing with Feeling

* As heard on Huberman Lab * ‘Marc Brackett ... has recently become a favoured expert of the Princess of Wales in her push to give young children a better start’ The Times Life may be unpredictable, but how you respond doesn’t have to be. 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 emotions we don’t fully understand or haven’t yet learned to channel in positive, intentional ways. In Dealing with Feeling , research psychologist and Yale professor 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 and enhance your mental wellbeing. With Brackett’s transformative techniques, you will learn to navigate life’s ups and downs and become the best version of yourself. ‘ Dealing with Feeling makes a big promise – and delivers. With warmth, wisdom and utmost clarity, Marc Brackett explains our emotions, where they come from and how, specifically, we can manage and learn from them’ Angela Duckworth, author of GRIT
