DEALING WITH FEELING

Marc Brackett

A practical guide for embracing and regulating our emotions in order to transform our lives.
Virtually everything that has happened in your life -good, bad, happy, sad- was influenced by how you dealt with your emotions. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? What stories did you tell about yourself, and how did your reactions affect others?

The way we handle our emotions is not a fixed part of ourselves, but a skill that can be learned and mastered.

This book provides a set of practical, evidence-based strategies and techniques to help readers regain control of their lives. At the heart of its 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 re-direct in positive, intentional ways.

We all have the power to decide how we respond to what life throws at us. By regulating our emotions we can increase our chances of achieving success in all facets of our lives. This book helps its readers to become the best version of themselves.
