Advancements in neuroscience and psychology have provided remarkable insights into the intricate role emotions play in shaping cognition, behavior, and overall well-being. Despite these leaps forward, many societal and institutional frameworks remain rooted in outdated views that prioritize logic over emotion. This talk explores how a deeper understanding of emotions can foster personal growth, enrich our relationships, and improve decision-making. We will discuss how integrating emotional intelligence into everyday life can bridge the gap between what we know and how we live, offering transformative potential in both individual and collective experiences.
