People like you are the reason YouTube is so awesome. Thanks.

[thiagovilarinho]

You're completely changing my life for better. I'd been on a steady decline in life and almost ended it but i'm now fighting back and your videos are helping to put me back in control of things.
Thank you so much!

Brain has an emotion. Brain then tries to explain emotions it caused. Brain creates several theories as to how it made those emotions.

I feel the need to share what I just went through:
A few hours ago, I read something on emotion and remembered something about constructed emotions, so I tried to remember where I've heard about it to watch it again. I quickly found some notes I took while watching your video about a year ago, though I didn't note down that these were notes about this video. So I tried to remember what I was watching when taking these notes; I was convinced it was a TED talk. So after googling some of the concepts, I realized it had to be ine of Lisa Feldman Barrett's, so I watched all of her TED talks only to realize it wasn't what I was thinking of.
At some point I actually questioned if I had read her book and completely forgot about having read it, because the cover seemed so familiar.
Then I basically googled every line of the notes I took (on paper, that is), hoping that it would match with some transcript.
And then, after (I kid you not) 3 hours of search, I stumbled on another of your videos and remembered that I took these notes when I binged a couple of your videos, and I literally slammed my hand on my desk out of satisfaction.
That feeling of "where did I learn about that again?" is worse than a song stuck in your head that you can't name.
From now on, I will definitely always write down my sources when I take notes.
I wanted to go to bed a couple of hours ago, but I needed to find this video; now my notes on "Why sleep is critical" are staring at me judgingly.
So thank you for your awesome videos; they definitely stick with me. One of the reasons why I felt the need to find this was that I knew this explanation was so much better than all the other things I found while searching.
And after this whole ordeal, I feel like I have to start supporting you on Patreon now.

Would love if you can provide us with more tips and tricks like those in "Tools for Titans"

Your channel is a literal gold mine for thought and optimal mental, physical and emotional performance.

always love when a new video of yours comes out. i feel like i've been working with my biology a little more instead of working against it and i've been feeling great.

[tasteslikeacid]

man, every morning I wake up and put on one of these videos and without fail, it helps me think clearly and introspectively and starts my day off in a great way. I appreciate you making these available for us

[LightBringer]

Perfectly timed video! Just what I needed in this period of life.

[HaxXxr]

Great Video! Love your content. You are one of the reasons why I started fasting, did go keto and will run my first marathon in 7 weeks. Thank you and keep on the great work :)

[juraviel]

this video helped me understand a little bit just why ive been emotionally numb for past decade plus. thanks for that

[harrypittock]

Love your work! It's a beautiful thing that youtube does in allowing us all to benefit from talented autodidacts like yourself. Looking forward to hearing in your next video some useful ways of putting this new theory of emotions to work.

[steves]

it's sad this isn't the kind of material that shows up when i look at the "trending" videos....

[jamesbra]

This adds a very important understanding to the notion of "controlling your emotions". The way in which we are so linked with our environments to be a mere observer to the process of life is interesting. Our routines and emotions are totally dominated by what we interact with, as what would be rationally sound lol.

I'm getting into meditation and really trying to learn more about how my brain works. This was a wonderful primer on emotions! Things are really falling into place!

[AA-njni]

Look forward to every video bro. One of my favorite channels.. You, Coldfusion and kurzaget are legends.

[concerned]

This evening I have watched two videos both contradicting each other on the nature of emotions: one says they are built in, the other says they are built but not built in.

[devvv]

If this is true, this has such wide ranging implications. Self-fulfillment and the other ultimate goals of human life maybe realized

[tannerroberts]

This is an explanation of why it's so important for a child to have an emotionally stable father. If they don't, all hell breaks loose in their mind, and they become very confused as to which emotions they should be constructing and how in their formative years.

[makouras]

This channel deserves more subs. I've been subscribed for only a few weeks and all I've seen is quality, fascinating and educating content. Great job!

[MrRandom]

There's a book called Descarte's Error, in which it addresses the idea that emotions and rational thinking should be separate, and talks about how they are both part of the same whole.

If something triggers an emotional response, we should look at why instead of trying to dismiss it.
