Dealing with Feeling

Available for Pre-Order | Release Date: September 16, 2025

Success in virtually every aspect of life—career, friendships, love, and family—is determined mainly by one thing: how you deal with your feelings. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? Did you fly off the handle? Were you paralyzed by indecision? Did you engage in behaviors that undermined your best intentions? Or did you exhibit grace under pressure and flourish? How you responded likely determined what happened next, but the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, a fixed part of ourselves. Rather, it is a set of skills and techniques that must be learned and refined across our lives.

Permission To Feel

Permission To Feel

“I cannot recommend Permission To Feel enough… practical, tactical, actionable. My favorite kind of book. I just loved it.” – BRENÉ BROWN
Permission to Feel (Celadon/Macmillan) inspires a new mindset around the power of emotions to transform our lives. Using science, passion, and lively storytelling, this book serves as a guide for understanding our own and others’ emotions, as well as provides innovative strategies for developing emotional intelligence in adults and children so that emotions help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being.
