“Oscar Wilde once famously noted: ‘I don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions. I want to use them, to enjoy them, and to dominate them.’ Many of us struggle with our emotions. They often use us, and sometimes even dominate us. The Emotional Intelligence Skills Workbook provides practical, insightful, and effective tools to help you accept and even enjoy your emotions while communicating and connecting with others.” —Stefan G. Hofmann, PhD, Alexander von Humboldt Professor at the University of Marburg, Germany; and author of several books, including Emotion in Therapy
