I have a question about this episode Zen Master Henry Shukman — 20 Minutes of Calm and The Powerful World of Koans | The Tim Ferriss Show and this Emotional Literacy. How do negative experiences, such as being told at a young age or into adulthood how we should feel (e.g., feeling ashamed or not being allowed to feel sad), get encoded into our brains, and how does not having permission to feel our real, biological emotions impact our future decisions? This was discussed in the episode Zen Master Henry Shukman — 20 Minutes of Calm and The Powerful World of Koans | The Tim Ferriss Show and the clip Embracing Agitation.
