The Power of Emotion

When Elliot's tumor was removed, his feeling brain got thrown out of his moving mental vehicle and nothing got better for him. Emotion is the biological hydraulic system that pushes our bodies into movement. Anger pushes your body to move. Anxiety pulls it into retreat. Joy lights up the facial muscles while sadness attempts to shade your existence from view. The two are inseparable. Why don't we do things we know we should do? Because we don't feel like it.
