Yale Professor On Building Emotional Intelligence I Marc Brackett, PhD

As a society, we are nowhere near as emotionally intelligent as we should be.

This is apparent from the way we treat each other and ourselves…

We simply don’t recognize our emotional intelligence as something that can be trained and built over time.

But luckily, times are changing, and our emotional well-being is becoming increasingly important. So much so that it has even found its place in schools, where children today are building their emotional intelligence using the RULER approach.

Here with me today to discuss this groundbreaking approach is none other than Marc Brackett, the founding director of the Yale Centre for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University. He is one of the academics who developed this approach, which is now being taught in over 5000 schools worldwide.

He has dedicated over 25 years to studying the critical role of emotions and emotional intelligence in various aspects of life, authored the best-selling book Permission to Feel, and co-created the award-winning app How We Feel to promote emotional skills and general well-being.

Join us as we dive deep into the world of emotional intelligence and share some amazing tools for recognizing and managing emotions.
