Dealing with Feeling

Marc Brackett Ph.D. · 2025
🎙 Narrated by Marc Brackett, Ph.D. (author-narrated)
79/100
👍 Worth It

Yale's Marc Brackett brings his well-proven RULER framework — already used in over 5,000 schools — to a warm, practical guide on handling emotions instead of suppressing them, and it landed as an instant bestseller for good reason. He narrates it himself, and while no one's specifically reviewed the performance, his credentials carry real weight throughout. A genuinely useful, wholesome pick for parents, educators, or anyone wanting a calmer relationship with their own feelings.
