Which emotions make a life feel good, and how much of that is in your control? Justin Noppé and I use that question to examine self-reflection, journalling and the role of anticipation in happiness. We discuss Barbara Fredrickson’s work on positive emotion, the way physical health affects emotional steadiness, and what Justin has learned from leadership development. The thread running through it is practical: reflection should help you see and choose more clearly. If it becomes another way to circle the same thoughts, it has stopped doing its job.
