"I cannot recommend Permission to Feel enough. . . . Practical,
tactical, actionable. My favorite kind of book. I just loved
it."
--Brené Brown "More than any other book on human feelings,
Permission to Feel integrates psychological research, educational
practice, and compelling stories, including Marc Brackett's own
life experiences, to make emotional intelligence come alive. This
is one book that leaders, educators, parents, students, and
researchers will all find valuable . . . and fun to read."
--Peter Salovey, President of Yale University and Chris Argyris
Professor of Psychology "We often create a false dichotomy between
thinking and feeling. In this dichotomy, thinking is important,
strong, and adaptive, but feeling is not. Marc Brackett shows us
how emotions and our ability to feel, understand, and use them are
key to fulfilling our potential."
--Carol Dweck, Author of Mindset: The New Psychology of Success and
Professor of Psychology, Stanford University. "Permission to Feel
is a deeply insightful and compelling examination of one of the
most important but ignored dimensions of the human experience. In
his honest, funny, and illuminating way, Marc Brackett helps us to
understand how emotions influence our health, performance, and
overall well-being, and how we can leverage their power to
transform our lives."
--Vivek Murthy, MD, MBA. 19th Surgeon General of the United States
"A compelling and complete journey that delivers on its promise of
giving us permission to feel. Marc Brackett shows us that emotional
intelligence is not a gift but a skill--one that we can all learn,
and benefit from immensely."
--Angela Duckworth, Author of Grit, CEO, Character Lab, and
Professor of Psychology, University of Pennsylvania "I love this
book! Marc Brackett has inspired me to be more open; taught me how
to become an emotion scientist; and given me the tools to heal
wounds in my own life. Permission To Feel is raw, insightful,
accessible, and in the end, empowering."
--Timothy Shriver, Chairman, Special Olympics "This book is
groundbreaking, eye opening, practical, and perhaps even life
changing. Weaving together powerful stories and provocative
research, Marc Brackett brilliantly conveys how social and
emotional skills can improve the quality of our lives,
relationships, and work. With compassion, humor, and wisdom
Brackett shares perspectives that challenge us all to be better
people."
--Roger Weissberg, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Psychology,
University of Illinois at Chicago; Chief Knowledge Officer,
Collaborative for Academic, Social, and Emotional Learning "There
is a dire need to cultivate social and emotional skills in our
nation's youth. That starts with cultivating emotional intelligence
in everyone involved in the education of children. Permission to
Feel lays a framework for what adults need to learn in order to
support children--and themselves--in achieving academic and life
success."
--Carmen Fariña, Chancellor Emeritus, New York City Department of
Education "In business, we are often pressured to withhold or
suppress emotions, ultimately creating toxic environments and
interpersonal conflict. In Permission to Feel, Marc Brackett
teaches essential skills and tools for bringing our best selves
forward. The results? Enhanced personal and professional outcomes,
and healthier and more engaging workplaces. A must-read for every
entrepreneur and their investors."
--Deborah Quazzo, Managing Partner GSV AcceleraTE Fund "If everyone
were fully trained in emotional intelligence, the world would
undoubtedly be a better place--and this book moves us one step
closer to that reality."
--Forbes "The author's research is wide-ranging, and his
interweaving of his personal story with the data helps make the
book less academic and more accessible to general readers... An
intriguing approach to identifying and relating to one's
emotions."
--Kirkus Reviews "Brackett... examines how acknowledging one's
emotions can create confidence and promote mental health in this
provocative, accessible work... Readers looking for strategies for
responding to stress, particularly in children, will find much
guidance in this cogent, welcoming work."
--Publishers Weekly
