Learn how to manage difficult emotions, regulate how you feel and respond better to stress, anxiety and anger with this practical, science-based guide from leading psychologist and bestselling author of Chatter, Dr Ethan Kross.

In Shift, he dispels common myths – for instance, that avoidance is 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.
Drawing on groundbreaking research and remarkable real-life stories, Kross explores the tools we already possess and shows how we can use them to: ??????
