'Essential reading.' - Susan Cain, author of Quiet

Every day we speak around 16,000 words - but inside our minds we create tens of thousands more. Thoughts such as 'I'm not spending enough time with my children' or 'I'm not good enough to present my work' can seem to be unshakable facts. In reality, they're the judgemental opinions of our inner voice.

Drawing on more than twenty years of academic research, consulting, and her own experiences overcoming adversity, Susan David PhD, a psychologist and faculty member at Harvard Medical School, has pioneered a new way to enable us to make peace with our inner self, achieve our most valued goals, make real change, and live life to the fullest.

Susan David has found that emotionally agile people experience the same stresses and setbacks as anyone else. The difference is the emotionally agile know how to unhook themselves from unhelpful patterns, and how to create values-based success with better habits and behaviours.

Emotional Agility describes a new way of living and relating to yourself and the world around you. Become aware of your true nature, learn to face your emotions with acceptance and generosity, act according to your deepest values, and flourish.

Practical and inspiring

This book is for everyone. We all struggle with our emotions. This book explains the why and the how to be with all emotions and grow as a human

Useful life skill

This book has helped in establishing the understanding required for me to heal from my childhood trauma and manage and improve my every day life. I am person who lives in fear for the most part and the insights from this book helped me in my day to day. I love listening to this audiobook when I’m cooking or commuting or doing mindless things, interrupting my negative habitual thought patterns from taking over and paving way for neuroplasticity to allow me to form newer better patterns that serve me.

Highly recommend this book!

Very nice and useful read.

I loved this book. it was easy and smooth to listen to and gave me a whole new perspective of how to deal woh emotions.

Long lecture of what not to do

The essence of the book and its message is good. But I can't help but to think that the author is lecturing me of how not to be which sounds a little odd when self compassion seems to be the central approach to self.
