## Resource

Most people believe they’re rational decision-makers. They’re not. In this episode, we explore the idea of the “Feeling Machine”—how your emotions drive your decisions, your actions, and ultimately your life. Drawing on insights from Daniel Kahneman and real-world experience, you’ll learn how to recognize, separate from, and choose your emotional states. Master this, and you unlock one of the most powerful forms of self-management available. George’s newest book is available!
