From Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the bestselling book Permission 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 life--career, friendship, love, and family--is determined mainly by one thing: how you deal with your feelings.

It is a set of skills and techniques 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-b
