A myth-busting, science-based guide that addresses the timeless question of how to manage your emotional life using tools you already possessfrom the bestselling author of Chatter.
Whether its anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when were stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being good or bad, emotions are information. When theyre activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices.
But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common mythsfor instance, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the momentand provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they dont take over our lives.
Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotionsfrom a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughters life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access toin our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabitand shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful.
Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research, and riveting stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling usand help others do the same.
