Summary
A practical and transformative 5-step strategy to ensure the emotional well-being of yourself and your child.
The mental well-being of children and adults is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why and what we can do.
Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University's Child Study Center, and 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 recognise the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured.
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 effective 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 his way to share the strategies and skills with listeners around the world. It is tested, and it works.

RULER
Everyone should read this book, especially if you are a teacher. However it applies to us all. If we could all understood our feelings and how to manage them, the world would be a better place.

One to read if you struggle expressing emotions!
I really enjoyed this refreshing take on the importance of emotional literacy, something that our society is slowly beginning to understand the importance of. I bought it as part of my ongoing journey to help my children grow into thriving adults and would recommend this for anyone that has struggled to express &/or understand their emotions. I would particularly encourage it for male-identifying people (if that's a word!)

Essential insights for any human interaction
This book is rich and insightful on human nature by design and how to self-manage and shape effectively human connection, even at scale at systemic level.

Great emotional literacy tool.
Absolutely loved this book. Have recommended it to my colleagues who support children with their emotional regulation. In the UK we have something called The Zones of Regulation which sounds very much like RULER education. I just wish there was more space in life for adults who have never considered their emotional needs, to have the support outlined in these words. I wonder what kind of world we would live in if RULER or Zones was part of education and training.
The chapters were perfect as they explained so much in a simple and engaging manner. I would love to meet the author and become a true emotions scientist! Perhaps I will look up training opportunities.
Every educator and parent should read this book.
Thank you.

Eye opening
I really enjoyed the subject matter of this book. It all seems so obvious when someone points it out to you. I feel like this will change my life and hopefully also the lives of all the people I interact with every day. Everyone should listen to this book

everyone should read this
this book has been incredibly healing for me to listen to because it covers the importance of emotional intelligence and communicating your feelings in every day life instead of just keeping them to yourself. i never really knew that the specific labeling of emotions, especially in a different language, was an international phenomenon that helped to express specific feelings--i feel much better now knowing that anyone can reach out to anyone else in the world who's willing to listen.
