Ep. 5: Legitimate and Illegitimate Feelings
Manage episode 343782243 series 3404535
In this episode, I discuss how in our society and in academia, some feelings are labeled as productive and hence legitimate, and other feelings are considered unprofessional, unproductive, and illegitimate. Stress and anxiety are feelings associated with hard work, but joy and excitement are discounted as potentially incongruent with productivity. Listen to how I explain that the opposite is true--how stress can literally kill you while joy and playfulness can unleash your highest productivity and create high quality of life.
