Summary
David DeSteno's Emotional Success is an exploration of harnessing the practical power of using positive emotion to impact decision making. Current models promote suppressing emotion and using willpower as a means of self-control which, DeSteno argues, is not viable in the long term. With comparisons to well-known studies and a balance of hard research and popular culture examples, Emotional Success calls for a paradigm shift in the way in which we talk about the effect of responding emotionally.
Presented in four sections that pull together cutting-edge research from his own Northeastern University lab, DeSteno explores the benefit of promoting the prosocial emotions of gratitude, compassion and pride. Trying to balance and control emotions by using cognitive strategies is complicated and often ineffective in the long term, but building decisions based on an emotional response is in alignment with a 'gut feeling'.
In a similar way to how the zeitgeist has looked to mindfulness as a means by which to negotiate the information overload of modern life, learning to use emotion as a response toolkit is an essential way to achieve rational decision making with a real long-term impact.

Great book. Lots of surprising info
I was quite surprised as some of the data in this book. Found it really interesting and also some good ideas on how to use this data to actually enhance your life and those of others simply by feeling and acting in a particular way. Worth listening to.

Thought Provoking
I found this very thought provoking, at times challenging. There was a lot to digest, but I can see, also necessary. It will certainly impact how I live my life.

Mixed feelings on book.
Some interesting ideas scattered through the book... A bit of a blinkered view of society at large. I would not recommend this book.
