Welcome to More Than A Feeling

Description
Human beings do a funny thing every day. We get up out of bed and unwittingly step onto our very own, perfectly personalized emotional rollercoaster. And depending on what happens around us, and inside us—like an illness, a promotion, an argument, a surge of panic, or just plain boredom—that rollercoaster can be fun, confusing, or absolutely terrifying. So why do we have emotions? What are they really trying to tell us?? And can we learn to skillfully choose which ones to listen to and which ones to let go of? In More Than A Feeling, the latest podcast from Ten Percent Happier, Host Saleem Reshamwala is on a real life quest to find the answers to these questions. He’ll interview and experiment with neuroscientists, actors, musicians, therapists, hairdressers and airplane pilots. Join Saleem as he sifts through the human condition to find stories and insights that help us all manage our emotions a little bit better.
