Differentiating Thinking and Feeling

The podcast emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between thoughts and feelings. It warns that confusing the two can lead to mistakes and irrational decision-making. Understanding whether a mental process is based on logic or emotion is essential. This is especially crucial in leadership situations where emotions need to be considered but not dictated the decision-making process. The podcast suggests that emotions are subjective and often rooted in ego. It advises paying attention to the language used when expressing thoughts and feelings, as emotional language and difficulties in explaining oneself may indicate a reliance on emotions.
