So we know when emotions are feeling really big and out of control, we don't feel like we have order in our minds. Creating order around us compensates for that experience. So I'll do those two or three things. Sometimes though, it's not enough. And I have to ratchet it up and go to another layer of intervention. What I'll do in that point is I'll call some of my emotional advisors up.

What I mean by emotional advisors, these are not clinically trained individuals. I'm not paying them for support. These are people in my network who do two things for me. Number one, they're really adept at connecting with me emotionally. They empathize, they validate what I'm going through. There's a resonance that I don't have to worry about being created.

And then after that kind of emotional connection is achieved and they learn about what I'm going through, they help me work through the experience. So that'll be the second line of intervention. I'll sometimes often, this is weather permitting in the state in which I live in Michigan, I'll go for a walk in our arboretum or down certain tree-lined streets in our neighborhood.

I've been really, really impressed by the data demonstrating how restorative and regulating going for a walk in a safe, natural setting can be. And so I'll layer that in as well. And 90% of the time, that's what I need to do to break out of my funk.

Well, Lori had just taken over duties as the head of one of Yale's colleges where she effectively acted as a type of den mother to the undergrads. She was there to not just make sure the dorm was kept in order, but to also be a type of mentor-like figure for the students. And while acting in that capacity, she noticed about

the struggles, the everyday kinds of struggles they were often encountering. And so she very creatively decided to teach a course on the topic of how to have a good life. And what she didn't expect was that once enrollment for the course was open, that a record number of students would sign up for it. I believe the number was over 900. She quickly catapulted from a professor with

an excellent reputation on campus to a veritable superstar. And it wasn't just being a superstar on campus. Pretty soon, the New York Times and other periodicals caught wind of what she was doing and they started covering her. And so the next thing you know, she's giving lectures and then flying out to do interviews and give talks elsewhere.
