Więcej o książce

Learn to manage your most challenging emotions and develop the emotional strength necessary to create your ideal life. Feelings such as sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability can hinder success and a sense of capability. Dr. Joan Rosenberg, with 30 years of experience as a psychologist, emphasizes that the inability to experience and process these eight unpleasant emotions often blocks personal growth. Effectively dealing with intense feelings is crucial for building confidence, emotional resilience, and overall well-being. When we distract ourselves from these emotions, we stray from our goals and diminish our potential. Neuroscientific research indicates that the biological lifespan of a feeling, initially sensed in the body, lasts about 90 seconds. Dr. Rosenberg guides readers to consciously engage with these emotions, riding the 90-second waves of bodily sensations. By staying present with these feelings, we enhance our confidence to face life's challenges and pursue our aspirations. Combining over three decades of clinical expertise with insights from psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience, this practical guide offers strategies for building emotional strength, reducing anxiety, and fostering the confidence needed to design a fulfilling life.
