Marc Brackett

The mental wellbeing of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of PERMISSION TO FEEL, knows why. And he knows what we can do. "We have a crisis on our hands, and its victims are our children." Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults – a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he’d endured. And that was the beginning of Marc’s awareness that what he was going through was temporary. He wasn’t alone, he wasn’t stuck on a timeline, and he wasn’t “wrong” to feel scared, isolated, and angry. Now, best of all, he could do something about it. In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well being. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and fast-effect approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress and burnout, improve school climate, and enhance academic achievement. This book is the culmination of Marc’s development of RULER and his way to share the strategies and skills with readers around the world. It is tested, and it works. This book combines rigor, science, passion and inspiration in equal parts. Too many children and adults are suffering; they are ashamed of their feelings and emotionally unskilled, but they don’t have to be. Marc Brackett’s life mission is to reverse this course, and this book can show you how.

Keeping Score

“Não me canso de recomendar Permissão para sentir. Prático, estratégico e viável. Meu tipo preferido de livro. Eu simplesmente adorei!” – Brené Brown “Marc Brackett nos mostra que a inteligência emocional não é um dom, mas uma habilidade que traz imensos benefícios e que todos nós podemos aprender.” – Angela Duckworth, autora de Garra Diretor-fundador do Centro de Inteligência Emocional de Yale, Marc Brackett criou um sistema que ajuda crianças e adultos a compreenderem suas emoções e usá-las com sabedoria. Quando criança, Marc Brackett era um menino assustado, tímido e tomado por uma raiva silenciosa. Tudo mudou quando um tio foi capaz de reconhecer seu sofrimento e perguntar: O que você está sentindo? Com essa simples pergunta, pela primeira vez, o pequeno Marc compreendeu que não era “errado” se sentir daquele jeito. Nas décadas seguintes, ele se dedicou a investigar as raízes do bem-estar emocional e, a partir daí, criou um sistema para nos ajudar a reconhecer, compreender, rotular, expressar e regular nossas emoções, sejam elas positivas ou negativas. Aplicado em milhares de escolas nos Estados Unidos, esse sistema é uma abordagem de alto impacto e efeito rápido, comprovadamente eficaz para reduzir o estresse e a sensação de esgotamento, melhorar o desempenho acadêmico e profissional e promover a saúde mental de adultos e crianças. Combinando pesquisas científicas e relatos pessoais, este livro mostra como aplicar o método para que você se permita sentir sem se tornar prisioneiro das suas emoções. Como o autor descobriu na infância e nos seus 25 anos dedicados à ciência das emoções, aprender a lidar com o que sentimos é o caminho para uma vida equilibrada, realizada e mentalmente saudável.
