109: The Truth About Emotions & How to Feel Better

109: The Truth About Emotions & How to Feel Better

What if everything you learned about emotions is actually wrong?

In conversation, we deep dive all about emotions:

  • The 1960s research that convinced everyone facial expressions are universal, and the methodological flaw that's been sitting inside it the whole time
  • Why Friends had a laugh track and what that has to do with how we think emotions work
  • What happens to courtroom verdicts when juries decide someone "looks remorseful"
  • The four states that ARE hardwired (and why they're not the emotions you'd expect)
  • Why having more emotion words actually changes what you can feel
  • Words for emotions in other languages that English doesn't have, and what that tells us
  • Why "just be happy" is bad advice, and what to aim for instead
  • Why grief, joy, and bad weeks aren't one-note experiences
