L'agilité émotionnelle est l'alternative au modèle de la pensée positive : c'est la capacité à accueillir et à accepter nos émotions pour en tirer parti afin d'aller de l'avant.
Il ne s'agit donc pas de rejeter toute pensée négative mais, au contraire, d'apprendre à les écouter pour déterminer ce qui ne va pas, puis de les transformer pour mieux prendre les virages de la vie et atteindre nos buts.
L'agilité émotionnelle permet de s'adapter plus facilement et de mieux vivre les changements ainsi que les aléas de la vie. C'est un vecteur de bien-être et de dépassement de soi.

Inspired by Octavia Butler's explorations of our human relationship to change, Emergent Strategy is radical self-help, society-help, and planet-help designed to shape the futures we want to live. Change is constant. The world is in a continual state of flux. It is a stream of ever-mutating, emergent patterns. Rather than steel ourselves against such change, this book invites us to feel, map, assess, and learn from the swirling patterns around us in order to better understand and influence them as they happen. This is a resolutely materialist “spirituality” based equally on science and science fiction, a visionary incantation to transform that which ultimately transforms us.

Resilience is the ability to face and handle life’s challenges, whether everyday disappointments or extraordinary disasters. While resilience is innate in the brain, over time we learn unhelpful patterns, which then become fixed in our neural circuitry. But science is now revealing that what previously seemed hardwired can be rewired, and Bouncing Back shows us how. With powerful, time-tested exercises, Linda Graham guides us in rebuilding our core well-being and disaster-proofing our brains. [editor summary]
