Humans are social creatures: In this simple and obvious fact lies both the problem and the solution to the current crisis of loneliness. In his groundbreaking audiobook, the 19th surgeon general of the United States Dr. Vivek Murthy makes a case for loneliness as a public health concern: a root cause and contributor to many of the epidemics sweeping the world today from alcohol and drug addiction to violence to depression and anxiety.

As M. E. Thomas says of her fellow sociopaths, we are your neighbors, co-workers, and quite possibly the people closest to you: lovers, family, friends. Our risk-seeking behavior and general fearlessness are thrilling, our glibness and charm alluring. Our often quick wit and outside-the-box thinking make us appear intelligent - even brilliant. We climb the corporate ladder faster than the rest, and appear to have limitless self-confidence.... Who are we? We are highly successful, non-criminal sociopaths and we comprise 4% of the American population (that's 1 in 25 people!).

Publisher's Summary
This program is read by the author.
The mental wellbeing of our children is shockingly poor. Marc Brackett, author of Permission to Feel, knows why. And he knows what we can do.
"We have a crisis on our hands, and its victims are our children."
Marc Brackett is a professor in Yale University’s Child Study Center and founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence. In his 25 years as an “emotion scientist”, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he’d endured. And that was the beginning of Marc’s awareness that what he was going through was temporary. He wasn’t alone, he wasn’t stuck on a timeline, and he wasn’t “wrong” to feel scared, isolated, and angry. Now, best of all, he could do something about it.
In the decades since, Marc has led large research teams and raised tens of millions of dollars to investigate the roots of emotional well-being. His prescription for healthy children (and their parents, teachers, and schools) is a system called RULER, a high-impact and fast-effect approach to understanding and mastering emotions that has already transformed the thousands of schools that have adopted it. RULER has been proven to reduce stress, depression, and burnout and enhance to encourage higher academic achievement. This book is the culmination of Marc’s development of RULER and his way to share the strategies and skills with listeners around the world. It is tested, and it works.
This audiobook combines rigor, science, passion, and inspiration in equal parts. Too many children and adults are suffering; they are ashamed of their feelings and emotionally unskilled, but they don’t have to be. Marc Brackett’s life mission is to reverse this course, and this audiobook can show you how.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

How To on Emotional Intelligence
This was an excellent listen. I was hoping for some practical guidance on how to put emotional intelligence into practice and that's exactly what this book delivered! Thank you Marc for all of your important work and commitment to helping humans understand ourselves and others.

My sincere wish: everyone embrace RULER
Befriend our emotions. Marc Brackett provides a wealth of data to support the need to learn emotional intelligence: recognizing emotions in our self and in others, understanding what led to the emotion, labeling it to tame it, expressing the emotion and finding ways to address its roots responsibly with others, and self regulating and helping to regulate others so we can live together in ways that support whatever outcome we desire for ourselves and those around us.

Good basic understanding
It is good if you really are at the basic level of trying to work through your emotions and become a healthier you. I think it just didn’t give enough skills on how we can do these things .

Excruciating to listen to...
This individual should not be reading an audiobook - his, or anyone else's. It was excruciating to listen to (horrible pauses, etc.), though necessary for my course that included this book as required reading. Although there were some good concepts, the author is constantly compensating for his sad childhood, one actually quite similar to my own. However, he takes those experiences and, with a constant underlying theme of craving validation from anyone and everyone (while suggesting and glorifying some very unrealistic Pollyanna home-life/work-life scenarios where everyone wears a happy face), and has launched himself into an undeserved, over-inflated sense of importance of his theories ending poverty, racism, and bringing about world peace. He claims these are feedback statements from, essentially, adoring fans, but it simply comes across, once again, as a desperate need for validation and coddling, as he continues to "live" in his childhood pain, rather than growing from it. So incredibly glad it's over.

Learn to Read
I’m trying really hard to listen the the message but his narration is making it almost impossible. Where is the producer here?
He reads. Then stops. Then reads. Then stops. I can’t do it. I will have to read it myself
This is the second book by the author that I can’t bring myself to listen to. Someone teach them please.

I really like him, and book has a great idea, but it is almost impossible to listen! The narration is horrible unfortunately. I can’t finish. I will try to read a book as I am still interested in what it says but please redo this book with a producer or a new narrator.

Half a loaf is better than none
Heavy on sermons and anecdotes and light on practical implementation with the exception of one too short chapter and one acronym. Most people going to the expense and trouble of reading a book with the title “Permission to Feel” already agree feels are important . Brackett has very broad negative things to say about men generally and repeatedly despite his story of his uncle saving him. His advertisements in the book for the purchase of more of his services and materials are repetitive and beyond annoying. I bought the book so the helpful information and exercises should be in the book not some other packages we have to purchase separately. For all that, it’s an important topic and half a loaf is better than none.

Incredible content! Painful to listen to.
Incredible content! I even bought the hard copy to make notes in and I await the arrival of the workbook. I can't wait to dive in deeper and become a master of my emotions then teach my kids how to feel. But listening to this book was painful. I felt like I was in grad school all over again with one of my least favorite professors in one of the most important classes I needed for my degree/career.

Marc sets forth both a meaningful and significant message for recognizing, understanding, labeling, expressing, and regulating emotions that could literally change the world and how we support children and one another in moving through it if people invested their time and energy into applying what he offers.

Wonderful book, terrible reading
Fantastic author, compelling book but please re-do this audio version--it is truly awful to the point of being distracting. I really cannot believe that so little care was given to the audio version. The author stops and starts in very odd places with almost no thought to the structure of the sentence. It's also very monotone. Please hire an actor to read the next version and make the audiobook more than just an afterthought. This is great work, but I think my money was wasted on the audio.

This is very important information for education, leadership, policy makers and parents. I won't recommend audio format going forward because it is very difficult to listen to. Monotone and stilted through out the text.

Full of aha moments. Positively life changing
This book is terrific! The book is full of "aha" moment.
Marc Brackett as a way of explaining the differences in emotional vocabulary that is tangible and clear in a way most books fail to articulate.
I love that Marc Brackett narrated as well it made it feel personal.
It helped open up communication between my wife and I. We already had a happy, loving relationship, but this took it to the next level of communication and understanding for ourselves and each other. I can not thank Marc Brackett enough!
