About the book

Researchers Todd Kashdan and Robert Biswas-Diener reject the advice to tune out negative emotions in favor of mindfulness, positivity and optimism, arguing that positive emotions alone are not enough. Anger can feed creativity, selfishness can make people brave and guilt can motivate, and they place the key to success in emotional agility, supported by scientific research and real-life examples.
