Trauma counselor Kelly McDaniel has seen these traits over and over in clients who feel trapped in cycles of harmful behaviors - and are unable to stop. Many of us find ourselves stuck in unhealthy habits simply because we don't see a better way. With Mother Hunger, McDaniel helps women break the cycle of destructive behavior by taking a fresh look at childhood trauma and its lasting impact.

Still, Together is an exploration of the ways we feel detachment from our lives, goals and friendships, and how we can begin to reclaim ourselves through human connection. Technology has enabled us to be more connected than ever before, but in many ways, it has come at the cost of our sense of humanity. The reality is that we live in a world where innovation promises to keep us more up-to-date and connected but leaves us feeling more disconnected than ever before.

Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey are unquestionably two of the greatest epic masterpieces in Western literature. Though more than 2,700 years old, their stories of brave heroics, capricious gods, and towering human emotions are vividly timeless. The Iliad can justly be called the world’s greatest war epic. The terrible and long-drawn-out siege of Troy remains one of the classic campaigns. The Odyssey chronicles the many trials and adventures Odysseus must pass through on his long journey home from the Trojan wars to his beloved wife.

The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Publisher's Summary
A practical and transformative 5-step strategy to ensure the emotional well-being of yourself and your child.
The mental well-being of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why and what we can do.
Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University's Child Study Center, and in his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being.
The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognise the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured.
In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well-being.
His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers and schools) is a system called Ruler, a high-impact and effective approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. Ruler has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate and enhance academic achievement. This book is his way to share the strategies and skills with listeners around the world. It is tested, and it works.

Inspired me to change my stoic attitude
Inspiring and coherent explanation of why responding to emotion better is the key to success at home, work and school. Have listened to it twice, and my only criticism would be that the 'why' is well done, the 'how' moves pretty quickly and is a bit too brief.

Everyone should read this!!
Thank you Marc Brackett for being Emotionally Intellegent. I believe this is a necessity for life and being a functional human being. If we were all taught Emotional Intellegence, as a fundamental subject, as childten we would have a happier, safer more functional existance. We would treat eachother with respect and kindness.
Most dysfunction comes from the, little know how of expressing and managing our feelings. We look after our body, but do we care for our mind in the same way! How did that get left out? I want to learn how to share and feel my emotions and thoughts, do you?

What the world needs.
Every human will benefit from this learning. A God send of easy to understand, relatable information. It makes it ok to both recognise how inadequate our emotional vocabulary is and thus, ability to adequately express ourselves effectively with others and acknowledge that this is a skill we all need to develop, not an innate gift of a few. As an educator and parent this is the missing piece of the puzzle in the world of positive emotion, anti bullying, self-awareness and resilience education programs that are employed in parenting and education settings.
I’d love a hard copy and resources as reference to develop my emotional vocabulary. If you can’t define your emotions in over 80 words , it’s ok, it’s not your fault! If you suck at communicating as a parent or other person that others look up to, it’s ok… this is where you start to grow.
The author’s reading is not completely fluent, but the authenticity of him sharing his story in his words makes this point forgivable.

A much needed call to action for us all
Thank you for writing this book, Professor Brackett. It is one of the most important works I have ever read and put into words the struggle I am seeing and hearing about in homes, workplaces, schools and across communities. It provides practical, research based strategies to help us achieve the society we know we crave for ourselves and our children especially.

I have never written so many of my own notes on a book. This book needs to be read by every person who works with other humans, but especially by those who work with children in schools. I plan to implement these strategies among my team at a school in South Africa. Super exited and utterly inspired (high energy and very pleasant yellow feelings). Thank you for this educational gem.

Not just for parents. Self-help and help others too.
This would be a great book for teachers and heads to read, and for anyone in management or personnel (HR) departments. But really it could be useful for anyone.
It teaches a scientifically-based, real-world-proven approach to recognizing emotions (your own or those of others) and dealing with them in healthier ways, with better outcomes for everyone.
The author has published curricula for integrating the teaching of emotional intelligence into all levels of schooling from Kindergarten to the end of High School. It would be brilliant if this could be included in the UK national curriculum.
Not knowing how to talk about or express emotions is a major factor in aggression, rage and violence. Thus a society which teaches how to recognise and distinguish between nuances of emotions is helping their populace live less frustrated and more peaceful and happy lives.

Where were the charts?
It was an interesting listen, but he kept referring to a coloured chart that isn't included in the audiobook. I also found that it had lots of compelling reasons why emotional intelligence is important, but not many actual strategies to use, especially with children.

One to read if you struggle expressing emotions!
I really enjoyed this refreshing take on the importance of emotional literacy, something that our society is slowly beginning to understand the importance of. I bought it as part of my ongoing journey to help my children grow into thriving adults and would recommend this for anyone that has struggled to express &/or understand their emotions. I would particularly encourage it for male-identifying people (if that's a word!)

A must for parents, psych students or anyone wanting more emotional intelligence
Professor Brackett may be the world’s leading authority on emotion and introduces his RULER approach: recognise, understand, label, express and regulate.
The book also has a dynamic table of contents (all of the chapter and section info) which makes jump to the relevant chapter when digging deeper or second pass.
Please give all audiobooks a dynamic ToC like this Audible!!!
