Ok, update. I initially finished this book and thought “This Book was fine. Not life-changing, but good.” Didn’t give it a rating and moved on.
But since I have finished it, I have thought about it every. day. It shifted something in me and I have felt a lot of peace ever since. I have had a few breakthroughs.
I’ve read books that spoke of similar things, but this author is good at the application part. It has stuck with me and I am so grateful I read this.
Favorite quotes:
“Emotions are data, they are not directives”
“To truly "show up" means making room for labelling your thoughts and emotions and seeing them for what they are: information rather than facts or directives. This is what allows us to step out to create distance from and gain perspective on our mental processes, which then defangs their power over us.”
“Acceptance is a prerequisite for change.”
“We still don’t like the things we don’t like –we just cease to be at war with them. And once the war is over, change can begin.”
“Emotional agility means being aware and accepting of all your emotions, even learning from the most difficult ones.”

Unfortunately this was not my cup of tea. I was hoping to learn something but it was written like a text book and it took me forever to read it. I should have DNFd it but I continued to force myself to the end grasping not much.
