How do you manage your emotions so that they don’t manage you?

Emotions are often viewed as something you have to control if you want to be successful. The truth is emotions—both positive and negative—are simply tools you can use to navigate the world. They influence everything from relationships to motivation and productivity. Yet, for all their profound impact, few of us receive a science-based guide on how to manage them.

Different tools work for different people. Listen in as Ethan explains what emotions are, why they matter, and most importantly how you can harness them.
