Dealing with Feelings

Dr. Marc Brackett explains how we can manage our emotions and live a better life.

I had a great chat with my friend Dr. Marc Brackett, founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the new book Dealing with Feelings: Use Your Emotions to Create the Life You Want. Together, we explore why so many of us struggle to manage our emotions and what we can do about it. Dr. Brackett explains the importance of co-regulation, self-compassion, and learning to work with our feelings rather than against them. As he reminds us, nearly every experience in our lives—good or bad—is shaped by how we respond emotionally. This conversation is full of practical wisdom and science-backed tools to help you better understand your inner world and harness the power of emotions for growth, resilience, and joy.
