D. Davies: Accolades for this book was given during a seminar I attended, so I bought the kindle copy. I read diligently through the first half of the book, but then just felt like it was saying the same thing over and over again - we live in a world that is out of touch with their emotions and emotions of others, and SEL and RULER is the answer. Ended up skimming through the rest. Not much beneficial information.

Frank Calberg: Top takeaways from reading the book:
- Pages 11, 18 and 55: To get better at naming emotions we feel, ask "What are the names of emotions you feel right now?"
- Pages 11 and 18: To express emotions emotions or help people express emotions ask "What makes it difficult for you to talk about emotions you feel?"
- Page 13: When we ignore or suppress emotions we feel, they become stronger.
- Page 35: When people feel negative emotions, they cry for help.
- Page 40: When people feel negative emotions, they do unhealthy things, for example eat too much and exercise too little.
- Page 93: Shame is a judgment from the outside - from our perception that other people believe we broke a moral or ethical rule or some shared convention. We believe we are diminished in their eyes.
- Page 107: When we name emotions we feel, we help other people to understand needs we have.
- Pages 115 and 130: Anger is usually a response to inequality, injustice and unfair treatment.
- Pages 146-147: To regulate emotions you feel, breathe. Why? Because breathing helps us slow down the heart rate, calm the mind and be fully present. Breathing through the nose is slower than breathing...

Kuzeyhan Ozdemir: This is a fabulous and practical book of Prof. Marc Brackett. It shows how to empower yourself with R.U.L.E.R. Model developed by him and his colleagues at Yale University 's Center for Emotional Intelligence. It helped me to RULE and Regulate my emotions. I have to admit that it takes time but it is worthy.

Lori Neil Fairbairn: I couldn't decide who I would recommend this book for, as I couldn't think of a profession or non working person who wouldn't benefit from this book. Marc lays out so clearly why we need to start identifying our emotions and what to do with them once we have identified. I am a school counsellor and I have been using his mood meter with all of my classes, and it's rare that we don't start a class without checkin in with our feelings. What I find most is that students don't know how to delineate between one emotion and another, but it's extremely important to do so as it can help target how to regulate it better. I had an incident that was waking me up at night, but once I was able to identify whether it was embarrassment, shame or guilt using the definitions he provided in the book it helped me let it go, and get a great night sleep. Please read this book - our world needs more people that are in touch with their feelings and know what to do with them. This is not touchy feely stuff, this is integral life stuff!

AudreyAudrey: Légèrement tâché mais cela ne m'a pas empêché de le lire!
Ce livre m'a été recommandée et je ne regrette pas de l'avoir acheté. Il traite d'un sujet qui selon moi n'est pas assez -voire pas du tout- abordé, et pourtant si intéressant. Il m'a tout de même fallu un peu plus de temps que d'ordinaire pour être véritablement plongé dans le livre mais j'en tire tout de même un avis positif. Tout ce qui y est expliqué est appuyé par des études, des recherches (d'ailleurs il suffit de jeter un œil au nombre de pages consacré à toutes les références utilisées!). Cela peut ne pas plaire à tout le monde car un peu "lourd" ou trop "académique" mais cela donne en mon sens plus de crédit au principe de scientifique émotionnel qui peut paraître au premier abord un peu... contradictoire ? Mais après avoir lu ce livre vous changerez très certainement d'avis sur la place qu'occupe vos émotions et j'espère que vous retiendrez qu'elles ne sont pas un signe de faiblesse mais que bien utilisé, elles peuvent -et sont une force. Je conseille ce livre à ceux qui sont tout simplement curieux de savoir de quoi il s'agit exactement "la permission de ressentir", ceux...

SimpleSolutions: I watched an interview on CNN with Professor Marc Brackett discussing emotions. The timing and need were perfect for me to purchase his book Permission to Feel: Unlocking the Power of Emotions to Help our Kids, Ourselves, and Our Society Thrive. My bias told me that this would be an academic tome full of footnotes and a dry read. I was entirely wrong (the crossreferences are in the appendix). Professor Brackett’s is a highly entertaining and educational read. If you are in the working world, then definitely a must-read. I wish my family and friends would all read this book. I highly recommend it. Dr. Brackett is promoting a happier way of life. If you have kids facing bullying at school, this is an essential read. They are complete with real-life encounters and amusing anecdotes, and a page-turner. Please regard this as a practical handbook or a skills guide to more fêted interpersonal relationships book. Dr. Brackett writes intimate accounts of his challenges as a kid growing up with his emotions and numerous examples taken from his family situation, in addition to the knowledge gained traveling nationally and internationally. I valued the way he weaves into this volume other...
