Take control of your emotions to achieve success in the workplace and happiness at home

Being aware of and able to control your emotions is one of the keys to success in life, both professionally and personally. This friendly guide will help you to understand your feelings and how you can manage them, instead of having them control you. Through practical, proven techniques and helpful exercises, you'll discover how you can increase your confidence, build stronger relationships with your partner, family, and colleagues, and find authentic happiness.

  • Manage your emotions — identify your feelings, determine what beliefs cause negative emotions, and stop self-destructive behaviors
  • Discover the power of empathy — read other people's emotions through facial cues and body language and show them you understand their feelings
  • Thrive at work — find a job that's right for you, overcome hassles and fears, and develop your leadership skills
  • Build and sustain meaningful relationships — discover how to take your partner's emotional temperature and manage emotions to grow closer
  • Raise an emotionally intelligent child — keep your cool with your child, coax shy children out of their shells, and get your child to be less aggressive and defiant
