Emotional Agility Through Difficult Times with Dr. Susan David

How do you increase your emotional agility during difficult times? I’m excited to welcome a very special guest today, Dr. Susan David. Susan is an award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist and author of the #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling book, Emotional Agility.  In this episode, Susan shares how emotional agility includes skills like curiosity, compassion, and courage that determine how we deal with complicated or challenging situations.  She also warns us to avoid rigid living, which causes us to push emotions aside in the service of forced positivity. Susan suggests that it takes more courage to notice what you are feeling and do the same for others than to avoid negative emotions altogether.   If you have ever felt forced to ignore your negative feelings or struggled to manage your emotions during challenging times, this is a show you can’t afford to miss. *** Do you want to stay up to date with every new episode and get my brand new Kwik Brain Accelerator Program?

Building Mental Toughness with Joe De Sena

How do you develop resilience?  It’s true that it takes grit to accomplish your goals, learn better, and achieve more, but what if you think you don’t have what it takes?

The Power of Practice with Jim Kwik

Today’s show was recording during a live podcast episode that I decided to do for the Kwik Community about valuable lessons I’ve learned that have helped improve my quality of life over time.  After my birthday recently, I created space and time to reflect on the last year’s events and gathered some takeaways that I couldn’t be more excited to share with you now.  This episode is a culmination of lessons from my stream of consciousness that range from recognizing the power of practice to using kindness as a superpower to change the world. I hope it inspires and serves you well.  I’d also like to express my gratitude for everyone who consistently chooses to show up for themselves and for me. You all have made Limitless a New York Times bestseller yet again and continuously make our podcast one of the top education training shows on iTunes.
