Have you ever worried about showing emotion at work, or panicked you've revealed too much of your personality? In No Hard Feelings, you'll learn how to navigate the emotional minefield that is the modern workplace, and express your feelings and identity at work. After all, the financial success of the 21st century depends on it. Without the ability to communicate and correct stress, we risk burnout. Without emotions, we cannot make decisions, influence others, or be creative. As our jobs become more collaborative, complex, and stressful - as well as the centre of our identities - effectively embracing emotion will only become more important. Combining behavioural economics and psychology with sharp, funny and colourful illustrations, No Hard Feelings shows readers how to be more authentic, productive, and happy at work. Liz Fosslien is a marketing and design consultant who illustrates the webcomic Out of the Office, and her work has been featured by the Economist, the Freakonomics blog, and NPR. Mollie West Duffy is an organizational designer at IDEO and a professor at Stanford University where she teaches design. She writes a blog and advises companies on start-up culture.

Emotions at Work and How They Help Us Succeed

No Hard Feelings

From the duo behind the bestselling book No Hard Feelings and the wildly popular @LizandMollie Instagram, an insightful and approachable illustrated guide to handling our most difficult emotions. We all experience unwieldy feelings. But between our emotion-phobic society and the debilitating uncertainty of modern times, we usually don't know how to talk about what we're going through, much less handle it. Over the past year, Liz Fosslien and Mollie West Duffy’s online community has laughed and cried about productivity guilt, pandemic anxiety, and Zoom fatigue. Now, Big Feelings addresses anyone intimidated by oversized feelings they can't predict or control, offering the tools to understand what's really going on, find comfort, and face the future with a sense of newfound agency. Weaving surprising science with personal stories and original illustrations, each chapter examines one uncomfortable feeling—like envy, burnout, and anxiety—and lays out strategies for turning big emotions into manageable ones. You’ll learn: • How to end the cycle of intrusive thoughts brought on by regret, and instead use this feeling as a compass for making decisions • How to identify what’s behind your anger and communicate it productively, without putting people on the defensive • Why we might be suffering from perfectionism even if we feel far from perfect, and how to detach your self-worth from what you do Big Feelings helps us understand that difficult emotions are not abnormal, and that we can emerge from them with a deeper sense of meaning. We can’t stop emotions from bubbling up, but we can learn how to make peace with them.

Liz Fosslien și Mollie West Duffy te învăța să identifici acele emoții la care mai ai de lucrat. Bazată pe cele mai recente cercetări despre inteligența emoțională, Fără supărare este un ghid practic, scris pe un ton relaxat și cu ilustrații amuzante. Nu mai începe o conversație serioasă la locul de muncă și nu mai încerca să-ți urmezi intuiția până nu citești Fără supărare. – Dan Lyons Afectuos, isteț și inspirat, acesta este fix manualul care îți lipsea ca să afli cum să reconciliezi, în mod inteligent, emoțiile de la job cu profesionalismul. – Chip Conley Fără supărare este atât o carte strălucitoare, plină de farmec, cât și o foaie de parcurs pe care trebuie s-o urmezi dacă vrei să debordezi de acea umanitate care te face mai fericit și mai eficient la locul de muncă. – Laszlo Bock Vrei să te bucuri de concediu fără să fii obsedat de e-mail? Oare trebuie să accepți cererea de prietenie pe Facebook a colegului tău? Ți se pare în regulă că te urmărește pe Instagram? Iată câteva dintre dilemele cu care toți ne confruntăm în viața profesională. Locul de muncă modern este un teren minat din punct de vedere emoțional, cu structuri de putere confuze și reguli nescrise. Trebuie să fim autentici, dar nu prea autentici. Trebuie să fim profesioniști, dar nu rigizi. Trebuie să fim prietenoși, dar nu confesivi peste măsură. Dacă ignori ceea ce simți la locul de muncă, sănătatea și productivitatea îți vor fi afectate. La fel și dacă lași emoțiile să se reverse fără niciun control.
