Why Suppressing Emotions is DANGEROUS

I love this quote in your book that says success in virtually every aspect of life, career, friendship, love and family, is determined mainly by one thing. And that's how you deal with your feelings.

That's correct.

Now, how dangerous is it then to suppress and numb your true emotions?

Well, I mean, they gotta go somewhere. So they go into stomach problems, they go into physical health problems. They go into depression, anxiety, losing a spouse. I mean, you can't just bury your emotions because they're what make you human. And that's why I think it should be required to teach people the skills of emotional intelligence. It's so critical, and I make this claim and I stand by it.
