'I cannot think of a better time for a book like Shift or a better author to write it' - Angela
Duckworth Whether it's anxiety about going to the doctor or boiling rage when we're stuck in
traffic our lives are filled with situations that send us spiralling. 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 way and at the right time they function like
an immune system alerting us to our surroundings telling 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? Acclaimed psychologist Dr Ethan Kross has devoted his career to answering this. In
Shift he offers up groundbreaking research and dispels common myths - for instance that
avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment - and provides
a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don't take over our lives. Filled with
actionable advice cutting-edge research and riveting stories Shift puts the power back into
our hands so we can control our emotions without them controlling us - and help others do the
same.
