The Emotional Fuel

We like to believe we are rational beings, guided by logic and reason. But beneath every action, decision, and pursuit lies a hidden engine: our emotional fuel. This book reveals that emotion is not a distraction—it is the primal force that powers everything we do. Through compelling science and real-life stories, it explores how feelings like fear, love, anger, and hope are not random storms to endure, but sophisticated signals directing our lives. You’ll learn that every experience hits your emotional brain before logic can respond, and that what you call a “rational choice” is often your mind justifying what your heart already decided. Emotional Fuel guides you to move from being controlled by emotions to consciously using them. You’ll discover how to distinguish between negative fuels—like fear and anger, which push but eventually burn you out—and positive fuels—like curiosity and gratitude, which sustain and renew you. By mastering the language of your inner world, you gain the power to transform reactions into responses, pressure into purpose, and struggle into strength. This is not a book about suppressing feelings. It’s about understanding and channeling them—to build a life driven not by fleeting sparks, but by a lasting and purposeful flame.
