In this incredibly insightful episode of the Mindset Mantra podcast, I have the privilege of delving into the purpose of emotions with the esteemed Ed Daube, Ph.D., also known as The Emotions Doctor. Join me as we explore the fascinating emotions cycle and discover powerful techniques for observing and mastering our emotions. Dr. Daube dispels common myths surrounding emotions, providing us with invaluable tools to cultivate emotional intelligence and lead a more fulfilling life. Get ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and emotional growth as The Emotions Doctor guides us through transformative exercises to understand and embrace our emotions fully.

Guest Bio

Ed Daube, Ph.D., The Emotions Doctor, retired as a Senior Psychologist-Supervisor after a 32 year career with the California Youth Authority. During his career, Dr. Daube worked clinically with incarcerated young women, all of whom had histories of multiple abuse, attempting to help them understand and strategically deploy their emotions as tools (as opposed to lashing out and hurting others or hurting themselves).
In addition to his clinical work, Dr. Daube also trained emotionally jaded correctional staff. His focus with staff was using the Emotions As Tools Model to help them understand both their own emotions and the emotions of the young women for whom they were responsible.
After retiring, Dr. Daube realized that the general public and many professionals continued to believe and promote many potentially damaging emotional myths so he wrote two Amazon best-selling books. Emotions as Tools: A Self-Help Guide to Controlling Your Life not Your Feelings covers emotions in general and Beyond Anger Management: Master Your Anger as a Strategic Tool covers anger specifically.
He has appeared as a Speaker on a Cruise ship, has spoken to a variety of groups including Local Law Enforcement, the National Guard, and a local Weight Watchers chapter, and has been a featured guest on a variety of podcasts.
In a continuing effort to educate others about emotions, he authors a blog that has over 225 posts on all aspects of emotions. In order to make it easy to access each of his posts, the Blog has an Index tab that gives one-click access to all his posts by category and title.

Guest Bio

Peggy has been coaching lawyers and leaders in multi-national organizations throughout the world for more than 30 years after practicing law for 12, is a Certified Integral Master Coach, and holds a Juris Doctor from the University of Arkansas.
She is the author of two chapters in the Handbook of Personal and Organizational Transformation, the first book on cutting-edge theory and practice on small- and large-scale transformation. She was an Assistant Attorney General and Arkansas State Purchasing Director for Bill Clinton when he was Attorney General and Governor, respectively, and served in President Clinton’s administration in the Federal Labor Relations Authority.
In 2007 Peggy closed her coaching business because she had a gnawing, inexplicable dissatisfaction; she didn’t feel “right” offering coaching services when she didn’t feel happy and fulfilled herself.
In 2017 she immersed herself in the study of wisdom traditions and nondual teachings as well as the scientific studies that align with those understandings. Embodying the wisdom that we actually are not separate, but one indivisible awareness, resolved her dilemma; she learned who she truly is and does her best to live aligned with that knowing.
Peggy now guides others to see beyond the illusion of separation, which is what limits us. She does this through direct experiential inquiry and with insights from the great wisdom traditions and science. Once experienced directly, the insights are transformational. We are then free to live authentically as we serve our highest calling and create the personal and professional lives that our hearts know is possible.
