Publisher's Summary
A practical and transformative 5-step strategy to ensure the emotional wellbeing of yourself and your child
The mental wellbeing 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 wellbeing. 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 readers around the world. It is tested, and it works.

The narration was lacking but the content was invaluable
The narration lacked a sense of flow and the intonations and inflictions were hard to listen to. However the content was so amazing. I will be purchasing the book as well.

good 😊
I personally needed this. I'm going to read the hard copy. Mark brackets reading style is a little 'stop start' for me. The book is fool of gold. if you can't be bothered with this book, you need it.

Great motivational book
I loved exploring what the author had to say about emotional intelligence, it's a skill that is so undervalued in our society, yet it is often the one that could come as a solution to so many problems.

a very worthwhile read.
I liked everything about this book. The authors story is engaging. the content is thought provoking and informative. I enjoyed the statistics that show how the principles can improve schools and workplaces. The book is easy to understand yet explains complex ideas. This is a well written book with very important ideas that everyone should know.

Life changing book!
I loved the content so much and listening to Mark speak on the podcast with Brene Brown. Listening to Mark narrate this book was a little more difficult, it felt like pauses were at odd times and made it harder to follow but I loved it none the less. Thanks for your amazing work Mark, I've recommended this book to everyone I've spoken to over tge past two weeks.

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.

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?
