Emotional Equations: Simple Steps for Creating Happiness + Success in Business + Life
Autor Chip Conley Tony Hsiehen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 ian 2013
With a foreword by Tony Hsieh, CEO of Zappos and author of "Delivering Happiness"
When Chip Conley, dynamic author of the bestselling "Peak," suffered a series of devastating personal and professional setbacks, he began using what he came to call Emotional Equations (such as Joy = Love - Fear) to help him focus on the variables in life that he could handle, rather than dwelling on the parts he couldn t, such as the bad economy, death, and taxes.
Using brilliantly simple logic that illuminates the universal truths in common emotional challenges, "Emotional Equations "offers a way to identify the elements in our lives that we can change, those we can t, and how to better understand our emotions so they can help us . . . rather than hurt us. Equations like Despair = Suffering - Meaning and Happiness = Wanting What You Have / Having What You Want have been reviewed for mathematical and psychological accuracy by experts. Now Conley tells his own comeback story and those of other resilient people and inspiring role models who have worked through emotional equations in their own lives. "Emotional Equations "arms you with practical strategies for turbulent times."

Recenzii
"If you want to understand (or persuade) your boss, sister, neighbor, or teenager, it helps to have an emotional equation. Chip Conley built one of the most innovative, customer-inspiring businesses of the last 20 years. He's a leader who clearly understands the value of analyzing emotions."--Chip Heath, co-author of "Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard"
"Rarely has a CEO bared his soul in a book as Chip Conley has in "Emotional Equations". This powerfully authentic story makes for a compelling read and an invaluable operating manual for life. Chip's stories are used to create emotional building blocks that define how we can understand and navigate our internal weather and emotions." --Tony Hsieh, Zappos' CEO and author of "Delivering Happiness"
"It's incredibly rewarding to see one of my former psychology students evolve first into a very successful businessperson and then into a thoughtful observer of human nature. Chip Conley's "Emotional Equations" is challenging, thought-provoking, insightful, and, ultimately, very practical." -- Phil Zimbardo, Professor Emeritus, Stanford University, author of "The Time Paradox"
"You may scoff at the idea that all the complexity and subtlety of human emotion can be reduced to a handful of arithmetic operations. Scoff all you want, but read the book. There is something important to be learned from every chapter. Chip Conley has written a book that is both welcoming and challenging, simple and complex, abstract and concrete. Read this book and take it to heart and your emotional life will never be the same." -- Barry Schwartz, author of "The Paradox of Choice"
"If you've struggled to understand how to get control of your emotions, Chip Conley's "Emotional Equations" is the book for you. Conley makes elegantly objective the subjective realm of feelings through the prism of simple mathematical formulas that offer fresh insight into how we can more effectively manage our emotions." -- Anne Kreamer, author of "It's Always Personal: Emotion in the New Workplace"
""Emotional Equations" is a fresh, original guide to an authentic and fulfilling life. Every line is based on good science and lived experience and rings truthful and invigorating. There ought to be a law against successful CEOs writing such good books...where does that leave the rest of us?"--Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of "Flow"
""Emotional Equations" is a masterpiece by a master teacher. Philosopher/CEO Chip Conley peels away the thin veneer of let's pretend organizational life and introduces us to the very raw and tender emotional core of our human experience. While reading, I felt joy, delight, curiosity, insight, inspiration, amazement and, most of all, a much deeper understanding of my own inner life. Simple, yet profound...you really must read this book." -- Jim Kouzes, co-author of "The Leadership Challenge"
"Chip Conley makes the case that great business leaders don't have to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Rather than superhuman, the best leaders--at work and at home--are simply super humans who know how to use their internal resources effectively. "Emotional Equations" offers practical advice so you can make your emotions work for you rather than against you."--Marci Shimoff, author of "Love for No Reason"
""Emotional Equations" offers a splendid menu of rules-of-thumb for a satisfied, meaningful life. Chip Conley has tried what he advises; his equations to live by are clever, useful, and profound."--Daniel Goleman, author of "Leadership: The Power of Emotional Intelligence"
"In this remarkable book, one of America's finest entrepreneurs shares the wisdom that's helped him find personal and professional renewal in the face of some devastating life events. Chip Conley's equations are powerful tools for helping to make our emotions work for us, rather than against us, in business and in life." -- Daniel H. Pink, author of "Drive"
