The Neuroticism Dilemma
Christian Jarrett: I'm interested in this dilemma of there seem to be certain things that on an individual level make people really unhappy and probably just make their life worse. On a societal level we benefit from having these people with what are undesirable traits like neuroticism, he says. The counter argument to that would be that being low in neuroticism or having high emotional stability and resilience doesn't mean you're never unhappy it means you act on those emotions in a constructive way as much as possible yeah.
