Books like The upside of your dark side by Todd B. Kashdan
The Upside of Your Dark Side shows that while mindfulness and positive emotions often guide us, the darker parts of our emotional palette—anger, anxiety, guilt, sadness, self-doubt, selfishness, and mindlessness—can also serve as catalysts for creativity, improvement, courage, and decision-making. By cultivating emotional, social, and mental agility, we learn to access the full spectrum of feelings and behaviors, responding most effectively to any situation. Drawing on scientific research and real-life examples from sports, the military, parenting, education, romance, and business, the book offers a practical framework for harnessing the entire range of human emotions to maximize personal and professional potential.
