Description

Mindfulness, kindness, and positivity can take us far. But they cannot take us all the way. Sometimes, they can even hold us back.

Emotions like anger, anxiety, or doubt might be uncomfortable, but it turns out that they are also incredibly useful. Kashdan and Biswas-Diener explain the importance of developing our emotional agility—the ability to access our full range of emotions (not just the good ones).

The Power of Negative Emotion explores how embracing our less desirable emotions can lead to personal growth and success.
