About this course
Think you’re either born with emotional intelligence or you’re not? That’s exactly the misconception Dr. Marc Brackett—Yale professor and director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence—debunks in this episode of the Huberman Lab podcast. He explains that emotions are not fixed; they can be interpreted and worked with to yield a more impactful, meaningful, and healthier life.
You’ll discover concrete tools for emotional regulation and communication, whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, dealing with in-person or text-based conversations. Dr. Brackett dives into the role of emotions in learning, resolving conflicts, and decision-making. He also addresses bullying in kids and adults, both in person and online, offering practical strategies.
By the end, you’ll know how to apply emotional intelligence to improve your personal and professional relationships, and you’ll understand how emotional suppression impacts your health. This is not abstract theory—it’s a real-world guide to feeling better and connecting more deeply.
