--Peter Salovey, President of Yale University and Chris Argyris
Professor of Psychology We often create a false dichotomy
between thinking and feeling. In this dichotomy, thinking is
important, strong, and adaptive, but feeling is not. Marc Brackett
shows us how emotions and our ability to feel, understand, and use
them are key to fulfilling our potential.
--Carol Dweck, Author of Mindset: The New Psychology of
Success and Professor of Psychology, Stanford University.
Permission to Feel is a deeply insightful and compelling
examination of one of the most important but ignored dimensions of
the human experience. In his honest, funny, and illuminating way,
Marc Brackett helps us to understand how emotions influence our
health, performance, and overall well-being, and how we can
leverage their power to transform our lives."
--Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA. 19th Surgeon General of the United
States A compelling and complete journey that delivers on its
promise of giving us permission to feel. Marc Brackett shows us
that emotional intelligence is not a gift but a skill--one that we
can all learn, and benefit from immensely.
--Angela Duckworth, Author of Grit, CEO, Character Lab,
and Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania "I love
this book! Marc Brackett has inspired me to be more open; taught me
how to become an emotion scientist; and given me the tools to heal
wounds in my own life. Permission To Feel is raw,
insightful, accessible, and in the end, empowering."
--Timothy Shriver, Chairman, Special Olympics "This book is
groundbreaking, eye opening, practical, and perhaps even life
changing. Weaving together powerful stories and provocative
research, Marc Brackett brilliantly conveys how social and
emotional skills can improve the quality of our lives,
relationships, and work. With compassion, humor, and wisdom
Brackett shares perspectives that challenge us all to be better
people."
--Roger Weissberg, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of
Psychology, University of Illinois at Chicago; Chief Knowledge
Officer, Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional
Learning "There is a dire need to cultivate social and
emotional skills in our nation's youth. That starts with
cultivating emotional intelligence in everyone involved in the
education of children. Permission to Feel lays a framework
for what adults need to learn in order to support children--and
themselves--in achieving academic and life success."
--Carmen Farina, Chancellor Emeritus, New York City Department
of Education In business, we are often pressured to withhold or
suppress emotions, ultimately creating toxic environments and
interpersonal conflict. In Permission to Feel, Marc Brackett
teaches essential skills and tools for bringing our best selves
forward. The results? Enhanced personal and professional outcomes,
and healthier and more engaging workplaces. A must-read for every
entrepreneur and their investors.
