F#ck Thinking Start Feeling: why rational thought erodes your emotions and poisons your life

Modern society's obsession with rationality and logic has led us to neglect the richness of our emotional lives. We’ve been conditioned to see thinking as superior to feeling, and this imbalance creates emotional disconnection, stress, and even unhappiness.

Cultural glorification of rationality refers to the elevation and idealization of rational thought, logic, and reason as the primary or most valuable way of understanding and engaging with the world. This phenomenon has deep historical roots and manifests in multiple areas of human life, from science and politics to philosophy, education, and even popular culture. The glorification of rationality often results in the marginalization of other ways of knowing, such as emotions, intuition, and spirituality, which can lead to a reductive view of human experience and knowledge.
