( قدرتك على اختيار "عدم رد الفعل" هي أساس التحكم في مشاعرك )

يتناول الكتاب موضوع التحكم في المشاعر وكيفية السيطرة عليها، ويقدم العديد من النصائح للمساعدة في ذلك. منها:

▪︎اعمل على فهم المحفزات العاطفية - وهي الأحداث أو المحادثات أو الأشخاص الذين يثيرون مشاعر غامرة - فبإدراكك لما يثيرك، يمكنك البدء بالتحكم في ردود أفعالك. يمكنك البدء باختيار كيفية استجابتك لمحفزاتك بدلًا من أن تكون تحت رحمتها.
"غالبًا ما ترتبط ردود أفعالنا الأكثر حدة بقضايا عالقة أو تجارب سابقة"

▪︎مارس اليقظة الذهنية: فركز فيما تفعله، وراقب أفكارك ومشاعرك وسلوكياتك.

▪︎اقبل مشاعرك: فهي إشارات تخبرك بشيء عن وضعك أو بيئتك أو حالتك الداخلية. وإدراكك بمشاعرك، حتى السلبي منها، موجود لسبب وجيه.

▪︎أعد صياغة أفكارك السلبية: فإعادة الصياغة لا تعني إنكار الواقع أو تجنب السلبية، بل تعني توسيع نطاق منظورك والإيمان بوجود وجهات نظر مختلفة.
"غالبًا لا يكون العالم كما تراه، بل كما تفسره"

▪︎تحمل مسؤولية ردود أفعالك: فإذا تسببت ردود أفعالك في ضرر، فإن إصلاح الأمور أمر بالغ الأهمية.
فهذا لا يساعد فقط على إصلاح العلاقات، بل يعزز أيضًا التزامك بتطوير الذات.

▪︎ركز على ما يمكنك التحكم به، وتخلَّ عما لا يمكنك التحكم به.

▪︎اقبل ضعفك.
"لا بأس أن تكون ضعيفًا ومخطئًا أحيانًا، فأنت بشر"

▪︎اعمل على تنمية وتحسين مهارات التواصل.

▪︎ضع حدودًا صحية.

▪︎اعمل على إدارة التوتر والقلق.

▪︎اعمل على تنمية الصبر والتسامح.
"فالمعاناة والكسور الذاتية جزء من التجربة الإنسانية"

▪︎تقبل العيوب والأخطاء.

▪︎اعمل على تطوير "عقلية النمو"
"التحديات فرص للنمو والنكسات ليست فشلًا بل دروساً"
إن مفهوم تطوير عقلية النمو يُحوِّل تركيزك من نقطة النهاية إلى الرحلة، ومن الدرجة إلى عملية التعلم منها، ومن الكمال إلى التقدم.
ستجد أن امتلاك عقلية النمو يشجعك على رؤية التحديات كفرص بدلًا من تهديدات. الأمر لا يتعلق بتجنب الصعوبات، بل برؤيتها كخطوات نحو التحسين.
يتعلق الأمر بالانفتاح على الملاحظات والنقد، ليس كإنكار لقيمتك ولكن كرؤى لقيمة تطورك. إن فهم عقلية النمو يعني أيضًا أن الجهد مفتاح النجاح، وأن الأمر لا يتعلق فقط بالموهبة أو بالذكاء، بل بالإصرار على الاستمرار حتى في أصعب الظروف. يتعلق الأمر بالمثابرة في مواجهة النكسات، مع العلم أنها جزء من رحلة الإتقان.
تبنَّ هذه العقلية وستكون بالفعل في طريقك لتحكم أفضل في مشاعرك.

An excellent book with a great many ideas on how to control your emotions. In so controlling your emotions you are then able to control your reactions. A good book in order to gain some insights into your emotional reactions. Sadly, we have a bad tendency to react strictly through our emotions, as opposed to using our logic and reason. A great number of better outcomes can come from the use of logic and reason, instead of your emotions. Because emotions are rather unstable with respect to the reactions that we carry out through them.

I genuinely can not tell if this was written by AI.
Some nice advice, nothing mind-blowing, but so damn repetitive?? I mean, I feel like EVERY chapter used the same 3/4 key sentences.

Nothing revolutionary but sometimes good to hear.
Quick and easy.

[Aby · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book may not be the best, or even having new creative ideas or prospects, yet it's simple, the points explained are in place, and although I can't stand repetitive talks, the repetitive use of words acts more like an affirmation than a repetition.. Listening to it was like listening to a person who is giving you the same old advices you have always been listening to from everyone, but this person puts them in a way and order which makes you not only enjoy listening to them, but also feeling as if something inside of you absorbed them for they kind of became a part of you, of your personality.

Once you’ve read one of these emotional intelligence books, you’ve read them all. Not much different than others! However, I do appreciate the straight to the point layout and short chapters! Makes it a quick ready and reference book to keep around for routine referral.

2- من خلال تقبلك لعيوبك فانت تسمح لنفسك بان تكون انسانا وترتكب الاخطاء وهو ليس نقصا
3- افهم نقاط ضعفك واستخدم وعيك لتسهيل حياتك بشكل اكثر فعالية
4- لا بأس من التعثر فهو جزء اساسي من فهو جزء اساسي من النمو والتطور
5- قد يكون خوفك من الفشل نابع من حاجتك العميقة للكمال
6- عدم الكمال لا يعني عدم الكفاءة
7- عندما تفشل لا تنغمس بالشفقة على نفسك فكر فيما حدث من اخطاء وخذ الدروس
8-لا يتم تعريفك بفشلك ولكن بطريقة تعاملك معها
9- عيوبك واخطاءك هي شجاعتك في الخروج من منطقة راحتك وتطوير عقلية النمو فالانتكاسات هي ليست اخفاقات بل فرصة للنمو لفهم نفسك والعالم
10- رد فعلك العاطفية ادراكها هو الخطوة الاولى للسيطرة عليها سيطر عليها ولا تكبتها فانت سيد مشاعرك وليس العكس
11- لا تخجل من النقد البناء تقبله واستخدمه لدفع نفسك للامام

Như một cuốn sách chữa lành vậy. Nói chung bản thân chúng ta phải tự điều chỉnh cảm xúc, chấp nhận và thực hành sự kiên nhẫn, thấu hiểu hàng ngày, từng chút một.
Mình thích gợi ý của tác giả về việc hàng ngày nên xây dựng sổ tay biết ơn để thấu hiểu chính mình và rèn luyện sự tử tế. Đôi khi biết ơn còn là biết ơn chính mình.
Mình cũng đã ghi nhớ lời khuyên về việc khi gặp vấn đề khiến cảm xúc dễ thay đổi thì nên hít sâu 4 giây, giữ hơi thở trong 7 giây và thở ra trong 8 giây, nói chung là hít sâu và thở nhẹ nhàng để tâm trạng bình an hơn.
Khi làm bất cứ việc gì cùng cần tập trung suy nghĩ vào việc đó, giống tư tưởng quán niệm trong Phật giáo ý. Kiểu như khi rửa bát, ta cần tập trung vào các chiếc bát, dòng nước,... Khi ăn cơm cần nhai chậm, cảm nhận vị ngon, suy nghĩ đến món ăn, tập trung quan sát mọi người, chứ không chỉ là nhai chạm, ăn chậm đâu nhé.

A light but valuable audiobook that gives you some practical insights about dealing with stressors, the ideas may seem a little unexceptional, but they can also be helpful when applied correctly and on a regular basis.
I started to appreciate the idea of audiobooks that it can be a nice break from the intensity of the written books and it’s also a great choice for those who are willing to improve their English.

[Annlin_the_archaeologist · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quickly got me regulating my emotional state and reminding me of the power of the self over the feeling. I loved the narrators calming energy. The aspects about the go and giving others grace as well. Chapter 17 was my favourite and that it's okay to fail and to shift your perspective to a growth mentality and being open to learn and to grow.

[Bridgett L. LaCroix · Rating 5 out of 5]

I listened to this book as an audio book and let's just say I definitely will be keeping it handy for when I'm feeling overwhelmed and just need a reminder. It offers helpful tips you can use to remember to not only give others grace but to extend YOURSELF that same grace. One step at a time and remembering it won't happen over night. I needed this book.

"Acceptance isn't about complacency, it's not an excuse to stop pursuing Improvement, it's about understanding your weaknesses without judgment or self-criticism and using this awareness to navigate your life more effectively."

Justice O. Malcom really knows how to make you realize that you are imperfect and that's okay. This book really made me realize that one day I will be a emotionally intelligent, calm and caring person while also accepting that you shouldn't focus on the future, but stay in the moment and the now.

[Fadoua RDS · Rating 4 out of 5]

It’s true that the problem is not a problem until you react to it, we truly live in a world where we react to small or maybe big problems the wrong way. Learning how to control your feeling at the moment is a very good tactics to live peacefully.

[Syazwan Sharani · Rating 4 out of 5]

My second audio book that I finished in the car on the way to work. Nothing groundbreaking per say, but a lot of worthy techniques were shared that are worth being reminded of once in a while. The 4/7/8 breathing technique was particularly something new for me.

Sometmes yes, the wisdom remain in our capability to observe and not react but not always.

If you are a beginner in inner work or just started your healing journey, this book could be very heplful. Doesn't go too deep or share anything groundbreaking, but gives some solid pointers.

A gentle and practical guide to emotional regulation. This book helped me see the strength in slowing down, breathing, and choosing mindfulness over impulsiveness. It’s one I’ll revisit often.

[Reader · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was my first audiobook of year 2025. I really enjoyed it. Especially the trick of 'imagine a pause button or a stop sign' is such a blessing to me. I can see a big improvement in my behavior. Good tips.
