Episode 50: Don‘t feel guilty

When most of us do something we shouldn't have -- or when we
didn't do something we should have -- we generally feel guilty.
However, in most cases, guilt is ineffective expiation. That is,
we let ourselves off the hook because we beat ourselves up. The
issue is that this doesn't prevent the bad behavior from
recurring in the future. In this episode, I'll speak briefly on
the emotion that -- if sufficiently cultivated -- can lead us in
the direction of actual and sustainable behavioral change:
contrition.
