What if an equation could help you understand and even master what you're experiencing right now?

In this age of uncertainty, many people feel like they're clinging to a dinghy amidst a perfect storm. But successful entrepreneur Chip Conley has discovered that by using simple word equations, it's easy to build the grit, insight, stamina and joy that allow us to become our best, highest-functioning selves.

Joy = Love - Fear

Anxiety = Uncertainty x Powerlessness

Conley's equations are a simple yet profound way to help your emotions work for you. They are mantras that we can turn to for stability in times of uncertainty, reminding us to focus on the things we can change ('the variables') and leave the others ('the constants') alone.

Emotional Equations is a new, visual lexicon for creating hope, simplicity and happiness in today's world.

'Emotional Equations is a fresh, original guide to an authentic and fulfilling life. Every line is based on good science and lived experience and rings truthful and invigorating. There ought to be a law against successful CEOs writing such good books . . . where does that leave the rest of us?' - Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, author of Flow

'Emotional Equations offers a splendid menu of rules-of-thumb for a satisfied, meaningful life. Chip Conley has tried what he advises; his equations to live by are clever, useful, and profound'
