“Emotions like sadness, guilt, grief and anger are beacons for our values. We don't get angry about stuff we don't care about. We don't feel sad or guilty about stuff we don't care about. If we push these emotions away, we are choosing not the learn about ourselves. We are choosing to ignore our values and what is important to us. And when we tell ourselves to 'think positive' and push negative or difficult emotions aside, it won't work.”
「悲傷、罪惡感、哀痛與憤怒這類的情緒體現了我們的價值觀。我們不會因為不在意的事物而憤怒,也不會因為不在意的事物而悲傷或感到罪惡。如果我們選擇對這些情緒視而不見,我們就是選擇不了解自己,也是選擇忽略自己的價值觀及真正覺得重要的事物。而如果我們只告訴自己要『正面思考』而推開那些比較負面、困難的思考,那是沒有用的」
