In this episode, my guest is Dr. Marc Brackett, Ph.D., a professor in the Child Study Center at Yale University, director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence, and a world expert on what emotions are, how to interpret them, and how to work with emotions to yield a more impactful, meaningful and healthier life. We explore differences between introverts and extroverts, in-person and text-based emotional communication, and how emotional suppression impacts us.\nWe discuss emotional intelligence and describe tools to improve emotional regulation and communication in personal and professional relationships. We also explore the role of emotions in learning, resolving conflicts, and decision-making. We also discuss bullying in kids and adults, both in person and online. This episode provides a clear and novel framework for thinking about emotions and data-supported tools to improve emotion regulation, self-awareness, and empathic attunement.\nAccess the full show notes, including referenced articles, books, people mentioned, and additional resources at hubermanlab.com.\nPre-Order Andrew's New Book\nProtocols: An Operating Manual for the Human Body: https://protocolsbook.com\nThank you to our sponsors\nAG1: https://drinkag1.com/huberman\xa0\nBetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/huberman\nEight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/huberman\nEud\u0113monia: https://eudemonia.net\nLMNT: https://drinklmnt.com/huberman\nTimestamps\n00:00:00 Dr. Marc Brackett\n00:02:02 Sponsors: BetterHelp, Eight Sleep & Eud\u0113monia\n00:06:03 What is Emotional Intelligence?; Self & Others\n00:11:18 Language & Emotion\n00:18:52 Emojis; Anger vs. Disappointment; Behavior & Emotion\n00:24:35 Sponsor: AG1\n00:26:05 Parent/Teacher Support; Online Etiquette\n00:31:24 Anonymity, Online Comments\n00:35:46 Happiness vs. Contentment; Knowing Oneself\n00:41:33 Introversion & Extroversion; Personality & Emotional Intelligence\n00:51:28 Sponsor: LMNT\n00:52:40 Texting & Relationships\n01:00:37 Tool: Mood Meter, Energy & Pleasantness Scale\n01:06:28 Emotion Suppression; Permission to Feel, Emotions Mentor\n01:19:42 Discussing Feelings; Emotional Self-Awareness\n01:25:00 Understanding Cause of Emotions, Stress, Envy\n01:33:40 Framing Empathy, Compassionate Empathy\n01:42:28 Asking Question; Tools: Reframing, Hot Air Balloon; Distancing\n01:49:44 Stereotypes, \u201cEmotional\u201d\n01:53:49 Emotions, Learning & Decision Making; Intention\n02:02:43 Emotion App & Self-Awareness; Gratitude Practice\n02:07:13 Bullying\n02:18:06 Courage & Bullying; Emotion Education\n02:25:33 Punishment; Uncle Marvin\n02:31:59 Zero-Cost Support, YouTube, Spotify & Apple Follow & Reviews, Sponsors, YouTube Feedback, Protocols Book, Social Media, Neural Network Newsletter\nDisclaimer & Disclosures
