Forrest and Rick sit down with Dr. Susan David, the creator of the concept of Emotional Agility. Emotional agility is what allows us to navigate our complex emotions, make choices aligned with our values, and ultimately lead more authentic and fulfilling lives.\nThey begin by discussing the four parts of emotional agility and distinguishing it from related concepts like emotional intelligence before exploring how we can \u201cunhook\u201d from our painful or problematic thoughts, feelings, and stories. They then explore how we can identify what really matters to us, act from those values, and find our footing in an ever-changing world.\xa0\nAbout our Guest: Susan David, Ph.D. is an award-winning Harvard Medical School psychologist and the author of the #1 Bestseller Emotional Agility. She is a frequent contributor to the New York Times, Washington Post, and Wall Street Journal, and her TED Talk on the topic of emotional agility has been seen by more than 10 million people.\nYou can watch this episode on YouTube.\nKey Topics:\n0:00: Introduction\n1:50: Distinguishing emotional agility from emotional intelligence\n5:00: The four parts of emotional agility\n10:30: The value of seeing yourself and feeling seen by others\n16:20: Continuity of self, and considering your future self\n21:45: Ways to recognize our unhelpful patterns or \u2018hooks\u2019\n26:40: Maintaining context for the full scope of our values\n32:55: Defining the concept of values\n35:50: Learning from discomfort, boredom, and anxiety\n40:30: When you struggle to identify your values in the first place\n46:05: Compassion and groundedness amidst constant change\n52:40: Accurately labeling your stressors\n58:30: Love and wisdom\xa0\n1:00:00: Recap\nSupport the Podcast: We're now on Patreon!
