Susan David is a psychologist and researcher in the field of emotions. Her life's work, like all great work, is inspired by her personal journey and furthered by her effort and dedication to this subject.
We've all heard messages about emotions. Susan's message is enlightening and informed by research. Much of what we do in therapy is enlightening. I find this TEDtalk powerful in that process. (she has a fantastic accent too!)
Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It's seeing through the facade of pretense. It's the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true. - Adyashanti
