How to Increase Your Emotional Intelligence & Never Get Angry or Bothered by Anyone

Dr. Marc Brackett from the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence joins Mel Robbins to share his research-backed framework for increasing emotional intelligence. He explains that success in career, relationships, and personal life is largely determined by how we handle emotions, yet most people were never taught this skill. Brackett outlines five steps to recognize and regulate feelings, stop negative thoughts, and redirect emotional energy. The conversation covers why we suppress emotions, how to stop taking things personally, and how emotional intelligence improves health and relationships. The core message: emotional intelligence can be learned at any age.
