Document Summary
Introduction: when we talk to a person, we"re not talking to person really, more of an abstraction. You can be blind to something right in front of you if you"re not looking for it. we do not perceive bottom up sensory. By orienting yourself toward something you gain the ability to experience that thing richly. Taking a particular emotional frame conditions an emotional direction and inhibits various other ways of experiencing the world. Emotion is what you are: emotional processes are also cognitive and physiological processes as well, moments that have very substantial weight in our lives usually involve strong sense of emotion. Homoeconomicus : economic motivations are the basis of who we are, we make decisions as though economic reasoning is human nature, problems: extrinsically motivated: locked into other people"s expectations. negative emotion: even if homoeconomicus wins and they succeed in life, it doesn"t necessarily make them happy.
