Sadness, shame, helplessness, anger, embarrassment, disappointment, frustration, and vulnerability. In 30 years as a practicing psychologist, Dr. Joan Rosenberg has found that what most often blocks people from success and feeling capable in life is the inability to experience, move through, and handle these 8 unpleasant feelings. Knowing how to deal with intense, overwhelming, or uncomfortable feelings is essential to building confidence, emotional strength, and resilience. Yet when we distract or disconnect from these feelings, we move away from confidence, health, and our desired pursuits, ultimately undermining our ability to fully realize our ambitions.
Neuroscientists suggest that the biological lifespan of a feeling, often known first through bodily sensations, lasts approximately 90 seconds. Dr. Rosenberg teaches readers to be aware, consciously lean into, and balance these unpleasant emotions by riding one or more 90-second waves of the bodily sensations. By staying present to these 8 feelings, we cultivate the confidence that we can handle life's challenges and the deep sense we can pursue whatever we want.
Combining more than three decades of clinical experience with aspects of clinical psychology, mindfulness, and neuroscience research, 90 Seconds to a Life You Love is a strategic and practical guide on building core emotional strength, reducing anxiety, and developing the confidence you need to create a life of your design -- a life you love.

Today, as I am writing this review, I keep having flashbacks to finding my mom struggling on the floor in 2017 after a massive stroke that took her life two days later. The trigger? The shirt I put on after I got out of the shower and went to my mom's bedroom to see why she wasn't up and about yet. I was getting dressed after a shower this morning and saw the shirt in my closet.
I wanted to avoid the feelings, as I want to as I type this review. Instead I am allowing the tears to flow through and the grief to surface as often as it needs to. Feeling these emotions as they want to surface creates much more ease in my body and mind and leaves me feeling calmer and more at ease. I can feel the tension leave my body when I follow the advice and exercises in Dr Joan's book.
Dr. Joan Rosenberg's book is filled with exercises to help you master the difficult feelings so any one, who is wiling to do the work, can embrace the confidence within, become resilient and live a life that reflects who they truly are. My advance copy is dog eared and the replay of the interview, and notes I took during it, are tagged for repeat listening.
If you are tired of feeling tired or sad or angry or ashamed or any other difficult emotion, I encourage you to get a copy of this book and read it through once. Then go back and read it again and work through each of the exercises. Take it in small bites or embrace it all at once. It has made a difference in my life. May it do the same for you.

This book helps you 1) realize when you are running away from your true emotions, 2) face your difficult emotions (riding the waves), 3) choosing to live a life full of meaning and intention.
It’s hard to summarize this book because there is so much helpful information packed inside. The things I found most helpful include:
—> How to speak your truth
—> Bad emotional math
—> Dealing with grief
—> Identifying and overcoming distractions
—> Parental influence on feelings
—> Visualizing decisions
After reading this book, I’m much more aware of the physiological experience when I have negative emotions. And knowing that they will only last 90 seconds. It is a game changer for your mindset.
Also there is a tip in the anxiety chapter that I don’t want to spoil, but it’s genius! I use it every day.

Dr Rosenberg has covered everything relating to human emotions in a simple understandable way. She explains how we can deal with them, using her 90 second reset process. Admittedly, it was a challenge to remember to follow it initially but now it really is quite simple to do. She has also given talks and interviews (available on You Tube) which are excellent. I have direct experience of how approachable she is. I made an enquiry about the kindle edition of the book and she replied to this herself. She now sends out regular emails (personally addressed to me), each focusing on an aspect of the book. I found this very valuable and feel that she is passionate about helping others.
I can honestly say that I have been wowed by Dr Rosenberg and by the life changing impact her work has had on me. Thank you Dr Rosenberg! I wholeheartedly recommend this book.




A very practical and simplified teaching based on solid science and psychology-practice based observations of about 50000 hours. Very well thought out. It is taught here precisely, specifically and is ready to be implemented.
I had heard many teachers say similar things but all that was vague and too abstract. They didn't tell what to do exactly, and they didnt say the body has an important role in our mental well being and feeling that we are capable.
Buy it if you feel bewildered about life. If you have trauma, add TRE(David Bercelli) to the mix, to take care of the past while this helps you face the present.
