Bill Gallagher explains how emotions work as data. Feeling upset at injustice signals you want to act. Use emotional signals alongside logic when you're deciding what to do.
Think of emotions as information. Is it when you get upset over watching something, injustice in the news, do you. What do you think about that? And he says, oh, well, I get upset because it's not fair. And I said, well, you're having an emotional reaction, so that's kind of bringing up the information that you strongly feel like there's some injustice occurring and that's going to help you to take some action. And so kind of look at it like it's not that you're going to be emotional when it's not appropriate. It's really about how can you take that information that the emotions are providing you and then using that information the same way that you would use logic in your decision making?
