Incorporating Modern Insights into Ancient Wisdom
Innovations don't always have to be groundbreaking in science or psychology, as practical concepts like HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) are also valuable for decision-making. The ancient wisdom of being rational and not driven by emotions needs to be complemented with considerations like physical states and embodied cognition. Incorporating modern knowledge about the gut biome and how our bodies influence our thoughts leads to greater empathy towards others, allowing for a better understanding of separating behavior from the individual. This understanding can lead to giving the gift of empathy to both oneself and humanity, as it enables the recognition that everyone is constantly dealing with their own challenges and experiences.
