Emotional Success (inbunden, eng)

<p>“EMOTIONAL SUCCESS is as inspiring as it is practical. DeSteno shows us how to [...] improve our lives – and the world.” – <b>Arianna Huffington, author of <i>Thrive </i>and <i>The Sleep Revolution</i></b><br><br>“If you think the key to self-control is overriding your emotions, think again.

Moral emotions can strengthen your willpower – and this fascinating book uses the latest social science to explain how.” – <b>Adam Grant, author of GIVE AND TAKE, ORIGINALS, and OPTION B with Sheryl Sandberg</b><br><b><br>Gratitude, Compassion and pride - not willpower - hold the secret to achieving your goals.</b><br><br>Using cutting-edge research, world-leading psychologist David DeSteno shows you how positive emotions are far more powerful than willpower and self-denial in achieving your goals.

Willpower is quickly depleted, but our prosocial emotions become stronger the more we use them. Even better, they’re contagious.<br><br>· Cultivating gratitude, compassion, and pride leads to better cardiovascular health, immune function and sleep <br>· Students who feel proud of their work will work 40% harder and longer than others<br>· Empathy and compassion are the best predictors of team success<br><br> Our prosocial emotions evolved specifically to help us resist immediate temptations in favour of long-term gains.

But they can also be adapted to strengthen our bonds with our own future selves – who will benefit most from the grit we need to succeed in life.</p>
