“Dealing with Feeling makes a big promise—and delivers.

—Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and Hidden Potential and host of the podcast ReThinking

“Dealing with Feeling takes us on a brilliant and heartfelt journey to master one of life's most essential skills: managing our emotions. At a time when stress and worry are dominating so many people's lives, Brackett's blend of personal story and science reminds us that a better path—with more peace, joy, and fulfillment—is indeed within our grasp.”

“We’ve been taught to hustle, achieve, and move fast—but not to feel. I followed that path for years, until I realized something was missing. Dealing with Feeling helped me understand that our emotions aren’t detours—they’re directions. When we learn to listen to them and use them wisely, they can lead us to deeper relationships, more meaningful work, and a truer version of ourselves.”
—Ben Silbermann, co-founder and Executive Chairman of Pinterest

In this practical and compelling book, Brackett delivers science-backed strategies to help us manage our feelings with clarity, strength, and purpose—even in life’s most challenging moments. This is the essential guide to thriving in an unpredictable world.”
—Kenneth Cole, designer and founder of The Mental Health Coalition

“In a world transformed by AI and constant change, Dealing with Feeling should be required reading for all leaders. Brackett makes a compelling case that emotion regulation isn’t a soft skill—it’s a strategic advantage for leading teams, building ethical products, and thriving under pressure.”
—Deborah Quazzo, Managing Partner, GSV Ventures & Co-founder, ASU+GSV Summit

"Marc Brackett's powerful and kaleidoscopic book Dealing with Feeling declares with grace and wit and style that emotion regulation is the single most important skill we can develop in today's world. We live in shattered times and Brackett wants to help us put the mosaic back together.”
