"Mastering Emotions: The WISER Model from Harvard's 80-Year Study"

The WISER model, developed by the Harvard Study of Adult Development, is a straightforward way to process emotions and choose a wise course of action. WISER stands for Watch, Interpret, Select, Engage, and Reflect. By taking a pause, naming the emotion, understanding what triggered it, interpreting the situation, selecting a course of action, engaging in that action, and reflecting on the outcome, emotionally intelligent people can manage their emotions and improve their relationships, decision making, and overall success in life.
