Relevant emotions arise when you imagine what would happen if you picked one option over another. Do you have a positive or negative feeling? For example, if you consider taking a new job that requires relocating. Do you focus on logic or go with your gut?

Liz and Mollie’s book is full of insight into how to integrate emotions at work.
When we are unable to productively process our feelings, bad things tend to occur.

It’s odd that we somehow forget that people bring their whole selves to the workplace. There’s always been a bit of a taboo to talk about feelings at work. I received two more books from The Next Big Idea Club and want to share a couple of my favorite takeaways from No Hard Feelings – the secret power of embracing emotions at work, by Liz Fosslien & Mollie West Duffy.
