How to Increase Your Emotional Intelligence | Dr. Marc Brackett

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Marc Brackett, Ph.D., a professor
in the Child Study Center at Yale University, director of the Yale
Center for Emotional Intelligence, and a world expert on what
emotions are, how to interpret them, and how to work with emotions
to yield a more impactful, meaningful and healthier life. We
explore differences between introverts and extroverts, in-person
and text-based emotional communication, and how emotional
suppression impacts us. We discuss emotional intelligence and
describe tools to improve emotional regulation and communication in
personal and professional relationships. We also explore the role
of emotions in learning, resolving conflicts, and decision-making.
We also discuss bullying in kids and adults, both in person and
online. This episode provides a clear and novel framework for
thinking about emotions and data-supported tools to improve emotion
regulation, self-awareness, and empathic attunement. Access the
