Sample Book Insights:
#1 I have a predisposition to panic, and I have never been a brave person. I was designed that way. I was raised by an extraordinary mother who is master of an art most people don’t even see as a skill.
#2 I learned that people do not typically do irregular things because they are immoral or criminal. They do so because they lose sight of the Boo-pound invisible gorilla. People are not well-practiced in dealing with their fears and desires. They act when they should instead sit still, and they feel when they should instead think.
#3 The rules of common sense are simple. While you have the right to feel the way you do, you may not realize that you also have the ability to feel any way you want. The only thing you can control is yourself, and your emotions are one of the few areas in which you can dictate terms.
#4 The rules are for the average person who wants to develop a greater immunity to life's ups and downs. They are for the regular guy who wants to stay level in an off-kilter world.

#1

I have a predisposition to panic, and I have never been a brave person. I was designed that way. I was raised by an extraordinary mother who is master of an art most people don’t even see as a skill.

#2

I learned that people do not typically do irregular things because they are immoral or criminal. They do so because they lose sight of the Boo-pound invisible gorilla. People are not well-practiced in dealing with their fears and desires. They act when they should instead sit still, and they feel when they should instead think.

#3

The rules of common sense are simple. While you have the right to feel the way you do, you may not realize that you also have the ability to feel any way you want. The only thing you can control is yourself, and your emotions are one of the few areas in which you can dictate terms.

#4

The rules are for the average person who wants to develop a greater immunity to life's ups and downs. They are for the regular guy who wants to stay level in an off-kilter world.

#5

To be a good emotional manager, you must decide that you have the ability to choose how you want to feel, and the best way to do that is to take the Smith and Wesson test. Ask yourself, If someone put a gun to my head, would I be able to stop screaming at my kids. If the answer is yes, your problem is not so much about ability as it is a matter of motivation.

#6

You must address how you feel through what you do and how you look at things. You must work your emotions like a job. You must decide that you will make your emotions follow your actions, rather than the other way around.
