Lesson one the ventilation fallacy venting when you're angry prolongs your mood rather than ending it

government tells of a story where he's in New York

And he hops in a cab the impatient cab driver honks the horn [signalling] a young man to move out the way

The young man flips a bird [so] the cab driver yells back your son of a bitch

Followed by revving the engine loudly out of anger as a cab takes off the driver then says you

[can't] take shit from anyone you gotta yell back at least it makes you feel better

contrary to popular belief

Government along with findings from multiple studies argues that venting your anger doesn't make you feel better

But instead prolongs and amplifies your anger it

Pumps up the emotional Brain's arousal and leaves people feeling more angry don't get confused though

Venting when you're sad can be a great way to get your feelings validated, but isn't as effective when you're angry

so when you feel yourself becoming angry what can you do to control your Anger [a]

Take a few deep breaths to help you relax and slow your heart rate this helps your body go from a high arousal

To a low arousal state b. Go for a walk, but don't indulge and anger inducing thought

C as bad thoughts come to you write them down and then reframe them

For example if your spouse gets upset at you and storms out the room instead of thinking

Oh, she's so cranky all the time for no reason [it] drives me nuts

Write down that thought and reframe it to maybe she's just had a bad day at work

lesson two don't Ruin a

20 L. [Finn's] Ted A

[Saleswoman] gets depressed and spent so many hours worrying about it that she doesn't get around to important sales calls her sales

Linda [Klein] making her feel like a failure which feeds her depression

but if she reacted to depression by trying to distract herself

She might well plunge into the sales calls as a way to get her mind off the sadness

Sales would be less likely to decline and the very experience of making a sale might boost their self confidence

Lessening their depression somewhat

What goldman is trying to say here? Is that continuing to think negative thoughts will lead you deeper into sadness

Distractions are what break the chain of sadness maintaining thinking the best distractions are ones that will shift your [moods] such as a funny movie

Reading an uplifting book or going to an exciting sport event

Reading an uplifting book or going to an exciting sport event

He says distractions are more effective than crying because crying often reinforces rumination and prolongs misery

[Goldman] offers for more solutions to managing sadness all right here are some goodies a

Aerobic exercise is good because it changes your physiological state

Depression is a low arousal state an aerobic exercise counters up by putting you into a high arousal state

C

reframe the situation

Just [like] with anger take note of bad thoughts when they come to you and see them in a more positive light

I can resonate with his strategy which helped me after my first relationship ended

I had a lot of negative thoughts like life will never be the same without her

After seven months. I finally [accepted] that the relationship was over and if I continued to grieve, I would surely get nowhere

so instead I thought okay that

Relationship wasn't so great. What can I learn [from] it?

This was a massive turning point in my life, and now in a new relationship and things are going great

Something that never would have happened if I didn't change my thinking

Lastly help others in need it helps us empathize with others and lifts us out of negativity

Okay, next up. This is one. I really like here. We go lesson three the artful Critique how to criticize the right way

Criticism is important in how it is given it

Determines how satisfied [people] are with their work with those when they work with and those who are responsible?

one of the worst

Criticisms if you're managing people is to say you're screwing up delivered in a harsh sarcastic angry tone

It provides neither a chance to respond nor any suggestion of how to do things better

it ignores the person's feelings and leaves them feeling helpless and Angry a

Criticisms if you're managing people is to say you're screwing up delivered in a harsh sarcastic angry tone

It provides neither a chance to respond nor any suggestion of how to do things better

it ignores the person's feelings and leaves them feeling helpless and Angry a

Much more effective way to criticize would be to say the main difficulty at this stage

Is that your plan will take too long and [so] escalate costs, I'd like you to think more about your proposal especially the design

Specifications for your software development to see if you can figure out a way [to] do the same job more quickly

This gives them. Hope of doing better and suggests the beginning of a plan to do so

[golemon] says you need four things [to] successfully deliver constructive criticism

They are be specific offer a solution do it face to [face] and be sensitive by showing empathy

lesson [for] emotional Contagion set the emotional tone

So in a simple experiment two volunteers filled out a checklist about their merits at the moment and then start facing each other quietly

Waiting for the experimenters to return to the room two minutes later

She returned and asked [him] to fill out the mood checklist again the pair's were purposely chosen

so that one partner was highly expressive of emotion and one who appeared flat and

expressionless

It turns out that the mood of the expressive person had been transferred to the expressionless person

This is an example of emotional contagion our emotions are contagious like a virus they spread through others

This is why speakers like [tony] [robbins] are able to hype up their audience and get them involved

They show their passion and energy which spreads through the audience like wildfire

Goldman says this ability to drive the emotional state and another person through emotional contagion is at the heart of

influencing people whether that's through speaking teaching singing or in any other interpersonal communication
