Dealing with feeling : use your emotions to create the life you want / by Brackett, Marc A.,author.;
Includes bibliographical references."From Marc Brackett, director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and author of the bestselling book Permission to Feel, comes an essential guide for regulating how we respond to our emotions in order to transform our lives Success in virtually every aspect of life -- career, friendships, love, family -- is determined mainly by one thing: how you deal with your feelings. In your most challenging moments, how did you respond? Did you fly off the handle? Were you paralyzed by indecision? Did you engage in behaviors that undermined your best intentions? Or, did you exhibit grace under pressure and flourish? How you responded likely determined what happened next. But the way we handle our emotions is not, as many believe, a fixed part of ourselves. Rather, it is a set of skills and techniques that must be taught and refined across our lives. Marc Brackett examines his own experiences with emotions, explains the latest science of emotion, and provides a set of practical, evidence-based strategies to help readers use their feelings wisely to nurture healthy relationships, achieve challenging goals, and attain greater wellbeing. At the heart of his message is acceptance; there is no such thing as a bad emotion -- only the ones you don't understand and don't yet know how to direct in positive, intentional ways. We all have the power to decide how we will respond to what life throws at us. By honing our emotion regulation skills, we can increase our chances of achieving success in all facets of our lives. Dealing With Feeling will help you become the best version of yourself"--

An emergency in Ottawa : the story of the Convoy Commission / by Wells, Paul A.(Paul Allen),author.;
Includes bibliographical references."On Feb 14, 2022, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made what might be the most controversial decision of his tenure, invoking the Emergencies Act to end a three-week occupation of downtown Ottawa by truckers protesting mandatory COVID-19 vaccine mandates. Proclaimed in 1988, the Emergencies Act is designed to give federal officials extraordinary powers in the event of threats to Canada's national security that can't be managed under existing laws. Trudeau used it to make the protest illegal, freeze the accounts and cancel the vehicle insurance of participants, requisition tow trucks to clear protestors from the streets, among other measures. The government defended the first-ever invocation of the act as just and necessary; several premiers and the Canadian Civil Liberties Association called it an assault on democratic rights and civil liberties. As required by the act, Trudeau appointed a commission of inquiry into its use. Last November, justice Paul Rouleau held three weeks of riveting hearings that included testimony by so-called Freedom Convoy organizers, police officials, cabinet ministers, and Trudeau himself. Award-winning author Paul Wells was a regular visitor to the inquiry. Witnesses described layer on layer of dysfunction and acrimony in every organization that converged on Parliament Hill--three levels of government, three police forces, and the protesters themselves. How does a society make crucial decisions when everyone is exhausted, nothing works, and the noise from the truck horns and the shouting is deafening? And how do the protagonists regroup to make their case in the sterile, weird environment of a public inquiry? That's the story inside-a-story of the Emergency in Ottawa."--
