Do I want to go, if somebody knocks at my office door, some weird person knocks at my office door and says, hey, Dan, I'll give you an operation. Okay, we're going to open up your head, but it's going to be completely no pain. We're going to seal it back up perfectly.

And what we're going to do is we're going to do a little tweak in your brain to ensure that you never experience fear again in your life. Do I want that operation?

Of course not. Because when I'm in a burning building, I want to experience fear so I get the hell out. It's helpful. Again, I don't want to be burdened by fear. I don't want to experience fear all the time. That's debilitating. I don't want to experience, think about an emotion like grief. The reason we experience grief is because we experience love. So I don't want to banish grief.

Okay, there's a lot wrong with it. But I'm going to try to be kinder and gentler in how I bash it. The problem is that it is a woefully misguided philosophy for a life well lived. And the reason for that is this. I'll give you an example of it. So I have the people who I wrote about, you know from the book. who get these tattoos that say no regrets.

I don't want to banish negative emotion. I want to actually reckon with them. I like what you said at the top of the show, Hala, is that there's evidence here, okay? This is not some kind of philosophy of mine. We have 50 or 60 years of evidence telling us that when you line up the emotions, all right, when you line up our negative emotions, we're going to do a little police lineup.
