Publisher's summary

Learn how to manage your most difficult feelings and build the emotional strength you need to create the life of your dreams.

​Sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability. In 30 years as a practicing psychologist, Dr. Joan Rosenberg has found that what most often blocks people from success and feeling capable in life is the inability to experience, move through, and handle these eight unpleasant feelings. Knowing how to deal with intense, overwhelming, or uncomfortable feelings is essential to building confidence, emotional strength, and resilience.

Yet when we distract or disconnect from these feelings, we move away from confidence, health, and our desired pursuits, ultimately undermining our ability to fully realize our ambitions. Neuroscientists suggest that the biological lifespan of a feeling, often known first through bodily sensations, lasts approximately 90 seconds. Dr. Rosenberg teaches listeners to be aware, consciously lean into, and balance these unpleasant emotions by riding one or more 90-second waves of the bodily sensations. By staying present to these eight feelings, we cultivate the confidence that we can handle life's challenges and the deep sense we can pursue whatever we want.

Combining more than three decades of clinical experience with aspects of clinical psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience research, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love is a strategic and practical guide on building core emotional strength, reducing anxiety, and developing the confidence you need to create a life of your design - a life you love.

Every now and then a book comes along that has the ability to change your life for the better. 90 Seconds to a Life You Love is that book. Joan does a wonderful job of breaking down the difficult topic of emotions into something everyone can easily understand and master. Her gentle yet clear approach allows people to finally break through the things that have held them back so they can finally, truly, live a life they love."—Brian Tracy, author of The Power of Self-Confidence and Eat that Frog!

"As for so many others, Dr. Joan Rosenberg has been my lifeline...There is a special kind of hope that comes from finally understanding that fear is not your enemy. Until you experience it yourself, it's hard to imagine what a difference 90 seconds can make."—JJ Virgin, New York Times bestselling author of The Virgin Diet and JJ Virgin's Sugar Impact Diet

It's a game changer for anyone ready to take their life, relationship, and career to the next level."—Ron Howard, film director, producer, and actor

Excellent companion for my move and packing

I bought the audio book after reading the kindle version. I listened to it while packing and decluttering. It helped me to let go of a lot of clutter that was holding me back.

We all need this

If you want to grow your emotional intelligence this is the book for you. Self awareness and processing feelings with the Rosenberg reset is key

so helpful

i have such a better understanding of emotions and how to heal using her methods.

Much needed

In this book, among many other important topics, Dr Rosenberg always relates back to addressing emotions that we all are inclined to repress or run away from. This is not something you are taught as a child—unless your caregivers or teachers have mastered jt—but I believe it is something every person should learn. The tools and exercises she lays out are practical and enlightening and I believe we could ALL benefit from what she teaches in this book.

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT...

The information was second to none.
Her voice was very easy to listen to.
It was so easy to use.
I have to live on Social Security so I only signed up for the one month to listen to this book.
I bought the book and love it! But, I can't afford to keep listening even at half price for a
short period.

It will be wonderful for ones who can afford it no matter the book they want to listen to! : )

Powerful

I went back and listened to it again and I just might for a third time as it is not only extremely powerful but it felt like it was speaking directly to me! I found this author through the podcast that I listen to daily

Amazing book

This book helped me to process my difficult feelings that I’ve been avoiding for 14 years. I wish I could get those tears back, but at least I can move forward with more confidence in my authentic self & power. I no longer seek confidence outside myself.

Explicite and congruent

This has been an awesome experience listening to this audio book, the writer describes many ways to implement and use every day to make it happen

Thank you very much Dr Joan Rosenberg

Valiosas enseñanzas dignas de practicar.

Es un libro que enseña paso a paso cómo cambiar pensamientos y creencias limitantes, además de vivir más conscientemente. Acabo de escucharlo por primera vez y estoy motivada a volverlo a escuchar, regalándome el tiempo de escribir los diarios.
