In this episode, Jeremiah and E talk through what it means to examine our feelings with curiosity, attempting to see them from different perspectives.  Feelings are a part of everyday life, though we can sometimes experience them like a secret language that is difficult to decipher.  Emotional intelligence, at its simplest, is the ability to notice what we are feeling, working with those feelings instead of being driven by them, and being able to recognize the same processes happening in the people around us.
