The Science of Emotion Regulation: Strategies for When You're Anxious, Angry, or Comparing Yourself To Others | Marc Brackett

This is the 10% happier podcast. I'm Dan Harris. Hello, party people. Today I am talking to a world-leading expert on emotional intelligence. He is a professor and researcher from Yale who is sometimes referred to as the feelings master.

We're going to talk about how to deal with stress, anxiety, and anger, how to use gratitude in moments of compare and despair, like when you're on Instagram comparing your life to other people's lives, how to talk to yourself in moments of high stress, and how to talk to other people when they're experiencing powerful emotions. By the way, this is a thing a lot of us avoid or fear dealing with other people's emotions, but as you're about to hear, my guest makes a very strong case for developing this skill as a way to vastly improve your own life. And I've seen this play out in my own life. My guest is Dr.

Mark Brackett. He's the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and he's the author of a book called Dealing with Feeling. Use your emotions to create the life you want. As you know, meditation is a great way to manage your unruly emotions. So please check out my new meditation app, 10% with Dan Harris.
