This International Literacy Day, level up your emotional literacy.

By The Blinkist Curators

What's it about?

You know the feeling: someone asks a simple question, and suddenly your reply has the emotional force of a courtroom closing argument. Or you say “I’m fine” while every part of you is clearly filing a complaint. This International Literacy Day, level up your emotional literacy. These Blinks will help you recognize what your emotions are trying to tell you, put your feelings into words, and understand how they shape your reactions, relationships, and decisions. You won’t become calm all the time – and that’s not the goal. You’ll simply get better at noticing what’s going on before your emotions grab the microphone.
