How Emotions Are Made

Alive and Free

About this episode

Today, we're going to think about what's really going on when you tell somebody that your day was good, or when you feel sad. Although it might seem like just a simple feeling, there's more to it than that. Have a listen.

Highlights:

  • They were creating stories about how they were marred when in reality they weren't, and that goes back to, what are we creating with our own thoughts. (11:50)
  • These experiences are built out of a brain that's just pulling information from the body that it happens to be sitting in. (14:25)
  • It's a lot easier to live in a world where you already know what's going on. (35:25)
  • Emotions are not a reflection reality at all, it is your brain's best guess about how it should respond to the situation. (37:45)
