Because emotional maturity doesn't arrive automatically with age. It must be learned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost of us were never taught how to handle our emotions. We learn mathematics, history and science at school, but rarely receive guidance on how to navigate setbacks, cope with rejection, manage difficult feelings or build healthy relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a result, many of us enter adulthood still carrying emotional habits formed long ago: becoming defensive when challenged, overwhelmed by setbacks, anxious about rejection or trapped in patterns that undermine our happiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Ingredients of Emotional Maturity is a practical guide to the psychological skills that help us thrive. Drawing on the unique wisdom of The School of Life, it explores the essential qualities of emotional adulthood, including resilience, self-awareness, self-compassion, forgiveness, vulnerability, emotional responsibility and the ability to respond thoughtfully rather than react impulsively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith warmth, insight and clarity, this book shows how emotional maturity is not something that arrives automatically with age. It is a set of learnable skills that can transform our relationships, strengthen our confidence and help us meet life's challenges with greater calm and wisdom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardback, 176 pages\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Faber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57178926940540,"sku":"9781916753518","price":16.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/7855\/5193\/files\/SchoolofLife_2.png?v=1784210856","url":"https:\/\/shop.southbankcentre.co.uk\/products\/the-ingredients-of-emotional-maturity","provider":"Southbank Centre Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
