Emotional Agility

I had higher expectations for this book I think. It all sums up in the end to “Acknowledge your emotions, accept them, learn to use them and don't get dominated by them”. I think I expected a bit more tools on how to handle emotions, how to use them in your life, ... In the end, there's not much “meat” in this book compared to its length, unfortunately.

I can't say enough good about Emotional Agility. It is sad to realize that in this day of plenty so many people suffer from depression and anxiety. Emotional Agility is full of wisdom for these woes. Susan David walks us through ways to dance your way through troubles. Don't think it's another of those dry textbook self-help books, though; David shares lots of wonderful stories that make her ideas more real and more clear.
