What if many of the emotions we regularly feel are actually counterfeits?In this episode, I’m joined by Curtis Morley to explore the concept of counterfeit emotions – and why authenticity is essential for meaningful personal growth.We discuss the difference between being nice and being kind, why peace may be the only emotion that cannot be counterfeited, and how it’s possible to experience both joy and pain at the same time. Drawing on Viktor Frankl’s insight that our final freedom is the ability to choose our attitude, we explore why choosing growth over misery matters – especially when life hurts.We also examine the distinction between sobriety and recovery, why emotional intelligence is the single strongest predictor of success in life and business, and why learning to love yourself is not a selfish indulgence, but a necessity for service.A powerful conversation on emotional intelligence, authenticity, and personal growth.
