博客來帶領讀者化情緒為助力，
以全新的眼光，迎向健康與成功。
著有《強大內心的自我對話習慣》的伊森‧克洛斯博士（Ethan Kross, PhD），是密西根大學情緒與自制力實驗室主持人，從科學實證的角度，加上真實生活中的案例，說明情緒為何是人類必備的重要能力。儘管戀人分手的心碎感，考試、看醫生前的焦慮感，或塞在車陣中的憤怒感……不勝枚舉的情緒常令人痛苦不安，但科學研究顯示：情緒就好比人體的免疫系統，能夠提醒我們注意周遭的狀況，以做出及時反應，避開威脅、增加生存勝率。失控的癥結在於當情緒過於強烈時，人們可能因為過度焦慮而無法專注地完成手邊任務，或陷入憂鬱、憤怒中，無法自拔……如何才能駕馭情緒，讓它成為適當的助力，不反被情緒所駕馭呢？情緒管理，無疑是人人必修的重要課題。
在《Shift》（轉念）這本書中，伊森博士引用科學研究成果，推翻過往的一些迷思。閱讀這本書，您將在強而有力的框架下，認識有效的工具，練習適當地轉換、掌控情緒，甚至還能進一步幫助別人也進行情緒管理，變得更健康、更成功。(文/博客來編譯)

A myth-busting, science-based guide that addresses the timeless question of how to manage your emotional life using tools you already possess—from the bestselling author of Chatter.
Whether it’s anxiety about going to the doctor, boiling rage when we’re stuck in traffic, or devastation after a painful break-up, our lives are filled with situations that send us spiraling. But as difficult as our emotions can be, they are also a superpower. Far from being “good” or “bad,” emotions are information. When they’re activated in the right ways and at the right time, they function like an immune system, alerting us to our surroundings, telling us how to react to a situation, and helping us make the right choices.
But how do we make our emotions work for us rather than against us? Acclaimed psychologist Dr. Ethan Kross has devoted his scientific career to answering this question. In Shift, he dispels common myths—for instance, that avoidance is always toxic or that we should always strive to live in the moment—and provides a new framework for shifting our emotions so they don’t take over our lives.
Shift weaves groundbreaking research with riveting stories of people struggling and succeeding to manage their emotions—from a mother whose fear prompted her to make a spur-of-the-moment decision that would save her daughter’s life mid-flight to a nuclear code-carrying Navy SEAL who learned how to embrace both joy and pain during a hellish training activity. Dr. Kross spotlights a wide array of tools that we already have access to—in our bodies and minds, our relationships with other people, and the cultures and physical spaces we inhabit—and shows us how to harness them to be healthier and more successful.
Filled with actionable advice, cutting-edge research, and riveting stories, Shift puts the power back into our hands, so we can control our emotions without them controlling us—and help others do the same.
