The Power of Negative Emotion Summary

The Power of Negative Emotion: How Anger, Guilt, and Self Doubt are Essential to Success and Fulfillment by Todd Kashdan

Feelings like anger, boredom, guilt, and anxiety might be uncomfortable, but they are also incredibly useful. In this ground-breaking book, acclaimed psychologists Dr Todd Kashdan and Dr Robert Biswas-Diener explain why positivity and mindfulness can only take us so far. To live life to the full, we need to cultivate 'emotional agility' - the ability to access our full range of emotions (not just the 'good' ones). Find out why:

* Anger fuels creativity
* Guilt sparks improvement
* Self-doubt enhances performance
* Selfishness increases courage

Drawing on years of scientific research and a wide array of real-life examples from sports, parenting, relationships, business and more, The Power of Negative Emotion is a bold handbook for a more fulfilling and successful life.
