Shift
Ehan Kross
Advanced psychological perspective techniques from leading emotion researcher – Dr. Ethan Kross’s follow-up to “Chatter” dives deeper into the science of psychological distance and perspective-taking for emotional regulation.
What makes this book special is its focus on “shifting” – the ability to step outside yourself and view situations from different perspectives to reduce emotional intensity. Kross builds on his groundbreaking research showing how psychological distance can transform overwhelming emotions into manageable challenges.
This provides advanced tools for those who’ve mastered basic coping strategies but need more sophisticated approaches. The book teaches how to use time, space, and perspective to regulate emotions more effectively. This is particularly valuable for anxiety, rumination, and emotional overwhelm, offering concrete techniques for creating psychological space when emotions feel too intense. Perfect for individuals seeking research-based emotional regulation strategies that go beyond basic mindfulness or CBT techniques.
