Emotional Agility: Get Unstuck, Embrace Change, and Thrive in Work and Life

哈佛醫學院心理學教授Susan David告訴你，如何運用認知方法，擺脫負面情緒，提升心理的生活品質，達到工作及人生的成功。「簡單易懂的閱讀之旅，Emotional Agility對每個人都可以有幫助。」－－《E.Q》Emotional Intelligence作者／丹尼爾．高曼 (Daniel Goleman) 智者告訴我們，辦公室裡千萬不要有負面的想法與情緒，我們要展現自信，把負面的東西隱藏起來。這話雖不錯，但卻不符合生物本能，所有健康人的內心，都有諸如批判、懷疑、恐懼的心緒，問題在於大部分的人不知如何擺脫它們，老是沉浸在負面的泥淖中，就好比上了鉤的魚，不斷掙扎卻於事無補。對這些負面情緒買帳的人，是因為把情緒當作事實(如：我上個工作也是這樣，我的職業生涯就是個徹底的失敗。)；或者想避免會引發負面情緒的狀況出現(如：我不想接受那個新挑戰)，這些縈繞不去的負面情緒，消磨了我們應該好好利用的” 重要認知資源”(Cognitive Resources)。作者發現能快速調整心緒的人，雖然經歷同樣的壓力與困難，但他們懂得很快地從這樣毫無幫助的型態中跳脫出來，並且以更好的習慣與行為來創造”以價值為根本”的成功。超過20年的學術研究與諮商，還有本身克服逆境的經驗，哈佛醫學院教授Susan David與她的團隊，開創出新的方法，告訴我們該如何保持內心的平和，達成我們最珍貴的目標，作出真正的改變，活出完滿的自己。'Essential reading.' - Susan Cain, author of QuietEvery day we speak around 16,000 words - but inside our minds we create tens of thousands more.
