[Dreams Come True] 52.댄 길버트, "우리는 왜 행복할까요?"

Dan Gilbert presented that the main reasons our brain got so big is because it got a new part, called the “frontal lobe.”This part is critical for us to feel happiness.Happiness can be synthesized. All of us have the ability. Human beings have something that we might think of as a "psychological immune system." A system of cognitive processes, largely non-conscious cognitive processes, that help them change their views of the world, so that they can feel better about the worlds in which they find themselves. However, when our fears are bounded, we're prudent, we're cautious, we're thoughtful, reckless, and cowardly.

The lesson Danwant to leave us withis that our longings and our worries are both to some degree overblown, because we have within us the capacity to manufacture the very commodity we are constantly chasing when we choose experience./조지정 미디어아카데미 명예기자
