Sometimes, they can even hold us back. Emotions like anger, anxiety, or doubt might be uncomfortable, but it turns out that they are also incredibly useful.For instance:* Anger fuels creativity* Guilt sparks improvement* Self-doubt enhances performance* Selfishness increases courage* Mindlessness leads to better decisionsThe key lies in what the authors call emotional agility - the ability to access our full range of emotions--not just the "good" ones-- to respond most effectively to whatever situation we might encounter. Drawing on years of scientific research and a wide array of real-life examples including sports, the military, parenting, education, romance, business, and more, The Upside of Your Dark Side is a refreshing reality check that shows us how we can truly maximize our potential.
