“A revolutionary guide to mastering your emotional life. Shift offers actionable strategies to ensure your emotions amplify your capabilities, rather than hinder them.”— Charles Duhigg, New York Times bestselling author of The Power of Habit
If you feel like your emotions are difficult to manage, you’re not alone. But there’s good news, says Ethan Kross: Far from being “good” or “bad,” emotions are information. And if you learn how to use them, they can become your superpower.
Ethan is an award-winning psychology professor at the University of Michigan. In talks based on his previous book, the instant national bestseller Chatter, he revealed how to turn your inner voice from your worst critic into your best coach. Now, he’s building on that work to show audiences of all backgrounds how to use their emotions to boost resilience, elevate performance, and gain an edge at work, at school, and at home.
His new book, Shift (out this week!) has already been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, Fast Company, NPR, Inc., and more. His new TED Talk is also out now. In a starred review, Publishers Weekly called Shift “a boon to readers looking to take better charge of their inner lives.” Dan Pink, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Drive, says that “Ethan’s actionable insights can turn emotions from adversaries to allies—and transform how you navigate high-pressure work environments and the unpredictability of daily life.”
