The Positive Emotion That's Hiding in Plain Sight, Just Waiting for You to Notice It. EP: 586 Nov 26, 2021

Show notes

There’s a positive emotion that can help you be happy with what you have and shift out of that mental state where you’re feeling incomplete and like you might need something to fill a hole in your life.

Today’s big idea is, no surprise about gratitude. After all, it’s Thanksgiving in the US--essentially a national day of gratitude.

Show notes

You know how in Goodfellas, Joe Pesci gets upset when someone calls him funny and he gets ticked off and says, "Am I clown? Do I amuse you?" all menacingly, like amusement is some kind of offense?
