Emotional Agility provides a new, science-backed approach to navigating life's many trials and detours on your path to fulfillment, with which you'll face your emotions head-on, observe them objectively, make choices based on your values and slowly tweak your mindset, motivation, and habits.

We all know a person who's incredibly mentally stable. Life can throw a hell of a lot of adversity at them, and they still won't lose perspective.

Susan David found not just a name for this capacity, but also a way to deliberately form it: emotional agility.

It's the ability to observe and adapt your emotions to what the situation requires.

David is a PhD, Harvard psychologist, and long-term researcher of what helps people achieve happiness and fulfillment. In 2016, she condensed years of research, coaching, speaking, and consulting experience into a book.

She crafted a 4-step process that helps us let our emotions support our outcomes, not dictate them.
