109: The Truth About Emotions & How to Feel Better - Nuance Needed | Lyssna här

What if everything you learned about emotions is actually wrong?

In conversation, we deep dive all about emotions:

The 1960s research that convinced everyone facial expressions are universal, and the methodological flaw that's been sitting inside it the whole time
Why Friends had a laugh track and what that has to do with how we think emotions work
What happens to courtroom verdicts when juries decide someone "looks remorseful"
The four states that ARE hardwired (and why they're not the emotions you'd expect)
Why having more emotion words actually changes what you can feel
Words for emotions in other languages that English doesn't have, and what that tells us
Why "just be happy" is bad advice, and what to aim for instead
Why grief, joy, and bad weeks aren't one-note experiences
