“No matter how painful and overwhelming our emotions can sometimes be, it is essential to remember that we evolved our capacity to experience them for a reason: They help us navigate the world, which is why all emotions are functional, even the ones we don’t like.”

“When you can fix what’s wrong—break up with the unfaithful partner or leave the demoralizing job—recasting the negative emotions into positive ones can prolong suffering.”

“Emotions aren’t good or bad; they are just information. There is an essential place in our lives for anger, sadness, guilt, grief, and a host of other “negative” emotions when they’re experienced in the right proportions.

Each of our emotions, however unpleasant in the moment, contains a powerful wisdom, shaped by evolution and experience.”
