A practical guide to managing stress created by Dr. of Psychology and emotional intelligence specialist Viktoria Shimanskaya offers effective ways to cope with negative emotions caused by professional and personal difficulties—such as anxiety, irritability, and self-doubt. Even though we can’t always change circumstances, we can change our reaction to them by developing emotional intelligence.

Viktoria Shimanskaya shares proven methods, checklists, and people’s stories—showing how to take control of emotions and become the master of your experiences.

In the book, the author describes her personal experience and thanks the people who helped her deal with stress. Over 20 years of practice, she has worked with more than 1,000 clients—each of whom went through their own difficulties—and she learned a lot from them as well. The author expresses gratitude to colleagues who shared knowledge and to co-authors who helped create and adapt emotional intelligence models. She also highlights the contribution of editors and the publishing team to the book’s creation, and thanks her family for constant support.
