I am a firm believer in trying as best as possible to act on logic not impulse. I'm all for trusting ones instincts, but instincts and impulse are not the same. That is not to say a person shouldn't feel. But process those feelings and then give thought and act rationally. We cause yourself more negative emotions int he end by acting out on our emotions only. I know there are times people speak with me that they are frustrated because I am not having the emotional response they want me to--and they are so wrapped up in their own emotions that this only further angers them. but as I see it, if more people could act rationally, we would all be more productive and happier. Don't abandon emotion, just don't do damage with emotion. It's actually a bit of a spiral effect. We get emotional, act on our emotions, create new problems, and more negative emotions stem from that. You know when people say the phrase "on a downward spiral". This is why. Ever feel in a funk and how you can't seem to be happy about anything? I think in a way, this book uncovers why that is. Very intelligent premise and a timely book that everyone should at least give a chance to.
