Emotional Agility | Susan David

Why it is here: The antidote to rigidity.

David, a Harvard psychologist, argues that we often get "hooked" by our thoughts and feelings (e.g., "I'm a failure," "This is a disaster").

Most of us often try to suppress these feelings ("Toxic Positivity") or brood on them.

She teaches the skill of "Unhooking"—stepping back to view emotions as data points rather than directives.

We include this to ensure the leader can navigate the internal storm of change without shutting down.

It turns emotions from stumbling blocks into signposts for values.
