Shift: Managing Your Emotions So They Don't Manage You | MHCC 2025

Описание: Whether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us?

Dr. Ethan Kross, international bestselling author of Chatter and Shift: Managing Your Emotions – So They Don't Manage You, in conversation with Angie Farrehi, provides a new framework for shifting our emotions, so they don’t take over our lives. Through science and storytelling, Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to – in our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit – and show us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful. He reveals how you can shift the power back into your hands, so you control your emotions without them controlling you – and help others do the same.
