Whether it's anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we're stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful breakup, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being "good" or "bad," emotions are information. When they're activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, tellins us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices. But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don't take over our lives.
