Amazon Best Book of the Year
TED Talk sensation - over 3 million views!

The counterintuitive approach to achieving your true potential, heralded by the Harvard Business Review as a groundbreaking idea of the year.

The path to personal and professional fulfillment is rarely straight. Ask anyone who has achieved his or her biggest goals or whose relationships thrive and you’ll hear stories of many unexpected detours along the way. What separates those who master these challenges and those who get derailed? The answer is agility—emotional agility.

Emotional agility is a revolutionary, science-based approach that allows us to navigate life’s twists and turns with self-acceptance, clear-sightedness, and an open mind. Renowned psychologist Susan David developed this concept after studying emotions, happiness, and achievement for more than twenty years. She found that no matter how intelligent or creative people are, or what type of personality they have, it is how they navigate their inner world—their thoughts, feelings, and self-talk—that ultimately determines how successful they will become.

The way we respond to these internal experiences drives our actions, careers, relationships, happiness, health—everything that matters in our lives. As humans, we are all prone to common hooks—things like self-doubt, shame, sadness, fear, or anger—that can too easily steer us in the wrong direction. Emotionally agile people are not immune to stresses and setbacks. The key difference is that they know how to adapt, aligning their actions with their values and making small but powerful changes that lead to a lifetime of growth. Emotional agility is not about ignoring difficult emotions and thoughts; it’s about holding them loosely, facing them courageously and compassionately, and then moving past them to bring the best of yourself forward.

Drawing on her deep research, decades of international consulting, and her own experience overcoming adversity after losing her father at a young age, David shows how anyone can thrive in an uncertain world by becoming more emotionally agile. To guide us, she shares four key concepts that allow us to acknowledge uncomfortable experiences while simultaneously detaching from them, thereby allowing us to embrace our core values and adjust our actions so they can move us where we truly want to go.

Written with authority, wit, and empathy, Emotional Agility serves as a road map for real behavioral change—a new way of acting that will help you reach your full potential, whoever you are and whatever you face.

Fantastic, Insightful, Research Based

Being a researcher myself, I connected instantly with this book. The author has made the book an easy read and relatable yet, gives research based evidence and arguments that help understand the intricacies of emotional agility. Examples that are relatable to all age groups and genders help make abstract ideas tangible. Thoroughly enjoyed reading this one. Must read.

Emotional Agility by Susan David
I really enjoyed reading this book. I first discovered Susan David and the concept of Emotional Agility from her interview on Impact Theory. I feel that I have practiced Emotional Agility without really having a name for it.
In this book, Susan David walks us through the downfalls of being emotional rigid and how to become agile. Its not just a simple – be agile – discussion. She does a wonderful job of including examples and research. As in all the books I like, there are plenty of science based evidence to back up the theories that are put forth from the author.
Early on in the book she mentions Viktor Frankl and his book Man’s Search for Meaning (on my list of books to read next). Viktor talks about creating space between stimulus and response. She takes this concept and says emotions are data points but not decision points. They can tell us about our environment but they do not make us make decisions – unless we let them.
In walking through the process, Susan David outlines many of the ‘hooks’ we get entangled with when it comes to emotions. Then she shows us how to get ‘un-hooked’ and create better outcomes. I believe this is one of the aspects that makes this a good book. She gives plenty of real world examples on how to make practical changes to improve our lives. Its not just listing theories on the ‘hooks’, its also lays out a plan and path to a better more fulfilled life.
One of my favorite parts of the book is when Susan talks about dead men goals. It is when we want to have a stress-free life. We don’t want any problems to disrupt our happiness. Susan says these are dead men’s goals – because dead people are the only ones that do not have any stress in their lives.
This book should be on everyone’s list to read.

Not just a book; an ongoing resource for emotional health, agility, and maintenance!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 11, 2022

Verified Purchase

My wife and I have both read this book and/or listened to it on Audible multiple times. In our opinion, Dr. David's message has just right amount of theory backed by summarized research, stories that help demonstrate the theoretical application, and practical guidelines to follow to improve emotional functioning.

Many readers/listeners may come to this book during a time of struggle, which of course if perfectly fine, and this book will likely help the struggling person get through that difficulty. However, if that's the path that leads you to read this, you should revisit the material once you've made it through that struggle or started to improve. It's likely that you will interpret, apply, and learn from the material in a way that is specific and focused on the problem you were dealing with. That path is healthy and undoubtedly helpful, but there's so much more value to get from "Emotional Agility" than that.

"Emotional Agility" is a fantastic tool for learning how to fully appreciate and process emotional experiences that can become chronic and demoralizing over time if left unchecked. Dr. David's discussion of "bottling" and "brooding" is particularly helpful here. She walks the reader/listener through how this works in a variety of settings (i.e. work, home, school, romantic relationships, parent-child relationships, and in specific events or critical incidents). My wife and I have come to understand that if we use "Emotional Agility" as a kind of ongoing emotional and mental maintenance program, we continuously improve our abilities to handle difficult emotional experiences in stride no matter in what setting they occur.

First responders (police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, corrections) should absolutely invest the time to read/listen to this material. I firmly believe it will help members of the public safety profession keep from developing burn-out and chronic stress associated with the experiences that public safety professionals are exposed to. Like continuing education, public safety professionals should incorporate "Emotional Agility" into at least an annual refresher.

My wife and I highly recommend "Emotional Agility," but don't just read/listen to it once!

I really wanted to like this book but...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 23, 2021

Verified Purchase

... I decided to stop reading after chapter four. I feel sad about this because I had high expectations of the content. The title captured me from the moment I saw it. The first chapter kept me reading because I could relate to the messages that promised to be the essence of this book. And I sorely want to expand my arsenal of methods for increasing my emotional agility.

However, the more I kept reading the more confused I felt. I tried listening to the Audible version to see whether that would help, as sometimes a good narrator can draw out key insights by emphasis. That didn't work either. In fact, it added to my confusion.

I am NOT saying that the concepts in this book are bad. They are backed by research and I was familiar with many of them from prior reading.

What I AM saying is that I disliked the presentation. The key messages are helpful but packaged in a way that I did not find conceptually satisfying.

Maybe I'm just picky, or maybe my expectations have been set really high by other works (see my later recommendations).

Let me illustrate what I mean by the packaging being unsatisfying.

This book has a multitude of analogies and references to pop culture (movies and the like) but the narrative often jumps from one analogy to another with wild abandon. I like a powerful analogy that provides a means to understand a new or difficult concept, but the overuse of analogy is troubling because an analogy is not reality, only a pointer to a deeper truth. Too much analogy and I only get a glimpse in the direction of truth, not the truth itself. Analogy can be used to mask fluffy thinking.

The same with concepts. I think there were too many, too close together. As an example, I found myself nodding along to "Thinking, Fast and Slow" because Type I and Type II thinking helps make sense of the world. Even without Kahnemann's prize-winning research, I intuitively sense it to be true. But "Emotional Agility" seems to bombard me with endless lists of important concepts with the effect that I get the sense that the author knows a lot about emotional rigidity, yet can't give me powerful tools or methods to deal with that rigidity and transform it into agility.

In short, the author comes across as a subject matter expert but what's missing is that spark of life that tells me that she is a good personal guide to transformation, not just an expert who knows a lot. There's too much theory and not enough practice, at least in the first four chapters of the book. I couldn't bear to stay with the book beyond that.

Your mileage may vary.

Let me close this review by recommending alternatives. These are books that set the bar really high, and I believe they explore concepts and convey practical methods that are fundamental to emotional agility.

** Big Magic (Elizabeth Gilbert) - When it comes to understanding the emotional difficulties associated with creativity, I think Big Magic is pure magic. Elizabeth Gilbert, of Eat Pray Love fame, has somehow bottled the essence of what it takes to create stuff and keep going beyond the inevitable emotional setbacks that accompany a creative life. Highly recommended for writers and other creative types.

** Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life (Marshall Rosenberg) - Having tried NVC (Nonviolent Communication) for five years, I now cannot imagine life without it. It has literally transformed the way I approach relationships at home and at work. I have defused arguments at work, vastly improved my marriage, empathized with my children to help them move through difficult times in their lives, and really started to connect with people around me.

** The Courage to be Happy: True Contentment Is In Your Power (Ichiro Kishimi, Fumitake Koga) - A self-help book laid out in the form of a dialogue between a young man and a philosopher. The amazing thing about this book is that it turns the somewhat inaccessible theories of 20th-century philosopher Alfred Adler, into a fictional work that comes alive and stays with the reader. I marvel at the simplicity of looking at life through the three basic tasks of work, friendship, and love. While being happy is simple, it does indeed take courage.

Fantastic Book For Those Who Struggle With Anxiety

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 14, 2018

Verified Purchase

I actually ordered this book a while ago, but just completed my second read-through and felt compelled to leave a review.

After listening to Susan David on a podcast, I became interested in her stance on how we deal with our feelings and decided to buy this book. It is all about our relationship with our feelings and how we need to change how we respond to our feelings so that we are able to make the choices that benefit us. The main message is that we should treat our feelings as a compass that guides us, informing us of our core values which we need to adhere to. I'm always sceptical when it comes to self-help books, but this one doesn't paint an unrealistically positive picture of what it's like to be in control of our emotions. The fact that it acknowledges difficult emotions playing just as important a role as positive emotions is a welcoming (and, to me, accurate) message.

It really is a incredibly well-written book with a good balance of anecdotal evidence combined with peer-reviewed studies. The writing is clear and extremely well-structured, and has some much appreciated references and humour to go alongside with important lessons. Susan goes into a decent amount of detail about the studies without it becoming too academic, but it is reassuring to know that there is evidence beyond the anecdotal.

The only reason I gave it four stars is because, although the messages all capture the truth, I felt there weren't enough suggestions of practical exercises to help consolidate some of the messages. In the middle of the book, were some great recommendations about the benefits of journalling and meditating. However, I felt that towards the end it began falling into the trap of simply saying how you should be thinking without telling you how you can move towards the goal. Perhaps she wants to leave it to the reader to figure out, but I would have appreciated a few more clear recommendations of what we could do.

Overall, extremely insightful and relevant book that anyone struggling with their anxiety/identity should read. It's a book that has definitely influenced me in a positive way. Over time, I hope to really take emotional agility to heart and more fully embrace all the struggles and successes of life.

Phenomenal.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 26, 2016

I've just finished this book. What an incredible piece of work. Incredible. I'm a Conference Producer and a Business Coach by trade so psychology is very much part of my everyday job. What is so unique about this book is that it literally applies to every single human being in the world. Susan has written a masterpiece here. It is so easy to read, the tone is friendly, her writing style is clear and concise but it's the journey it takes you through that is so impressive. In the book you learn all about how to unhook yourself from the impulses that can cause us to make the wrong decisions, act in the wrong way or say the wrong things. The book is full of references to behavioural research to prove that what Susan is writing is very much based on fact and not fiction. There are also lots and lots of simple, pragmatic, everyday techniques that you can apply to yourself (or to your team if you are a leader in business). I personally don't see this book as a self-help book. It goes way, way beyond that. The applications are immense and profound. I have already started using what I have learned from it in my job as a business coach. Very happy to leave a positive review for this brilliant book. Well done Susan.

Not the best or better on the topic of EI

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on April 13, 2021

This book wasn’t easy to read, I struggled to get into it and had to jump chapters, why? Because of the author’s writing style, though simple, it wasn’t chronological neither did it flow.
Her message and “help” were scattered all over the place with no proper structure, it was like a jigsaw.
While it was useful having different research pieces back her statements, I felt the book was centred more on research than what the title promised.
The conclusion was the best chapter as it summarised the author’s intention for the book unfortunately, it had no substance.

The most compassionate book I've ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on December 28, 2017

Verified Purchase

This book is transformative. At the most affluent and safe time in history, it is striking that so many of us find ourselves trying to seek self-help books. We all want to be happy. This book builds on scientific arguments (evolution, empirical psychology) to cut through this idea. It tells us of the value of so called negative emotions. It is the most compassionate book I've ever read. Imagine that little child, you, struggling at some point. You'd hug that child, right?! Now imagine yourself the adult struggling to get promoted or with relationships, different gut response, right? Make sure to hug yourself in the present too. Write a letter to your future self. Write whatever is on your mind for 15 minutes everyday, practice mindfulness, rediscover the smells, sounds and tastes you forgot about. It's the little things that matter.

This book also has amazing tips for parents.

Lastly, woven through it is the heart-warming and thoroughly inspiring story of a great woman, Susan David, growing up in Apartheid, embracing many difficulties, and becoming the author of this book; my favourite book of 2017!
