Success in virtually every aspect of life―

career, friendship, love, and family―

is 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.

The good news?

We all have the power to decide how we will respond to what life throws at us.

Marc Brackett, Founding Director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the new book Dealing With Feeling: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want is back on the show today.

Together we’ll explore how can begin to harness this power.

The first step being the practice of acceptance.

A message that in many ways is at the heart of Marc’s work.

It's a move that recognizes there are no bad emotions―

only emotions we don’t understand or know how to direct in positive, intentional ways.

And secondly,

That we must go beyond acceptance.

Dealing with our feelings involves a set of skills and strategies that must be

learned, practiced, and refined over a lifetime.

When we do,

We open the door to becoming the best version of ourselves

and lifting others up around us.
