Well, why would there be a connection between narrative and emotion?
Because our emotions clearly didn't evolve so that other people could manipulate our emotions with stories.
So actually, our emotions must have evolved to help us monitor our own inner narrative.
And what your emotions are telling you is the state of your inner narrative.
So we've already talked about anger.
Anger is telling you, oh, your path is narrowing.
Learn when you get angry, not to get angry, but to get imaginative.
Or if you start to feel fear, that's your brain telling you you've lost your narrative entirely.
Take a first step.
And so what we did is we shifted away from this idea that emotional intelligence or EQ was a logic process that allows you to understand other people and instead into saying it's your most profound way of understanding yourself.
In general, is logic too small?
Yes, absolutely.
Well, because how does logic work?
The whole idea behind- It's a formula.
It's a formula, yes.
It's a formula.
And in order to come up with a formula, you have to come up with a huge amount of data.
And then that data has to be frozen in time because a formula can only work if nothing changes.
And so logic is amazing and incredible in environments that are stable and transparent.
And nothing is that.
