Allow yourself to feel. The art of managing emotions

WE DO NOT ALLOW OURSELVES – AND OTHERS – TO EXPERIENCE AND EXPRESS EMOTIONS. We avoid difficult conversations with colleagues, snap at our loved ones. Distractedly eat an entire pack of cookies and mindlessly scroll through social media for hours. Mark Brackett, the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, developed the RULER system for understanding, expressing, and regulating emotions. It is successfully used in schools and universities to reduce stress levels and improve academic performance. Brackett's approach will help both adults and children become full owners of their emotions. THANKS TO THIS BOOK YOU WILL LEARN: • to understand your own and others' emotions; • to express feelings in a healthy way; • to identify the true reasons for your experiences; • to regulate your mood and mental state; • to use the power of emotional intelligence in all areas of life.
