Episode 206: The balance of pain and pleasure
Summary
The asymmetricality of pain and pleasure is one of the most infuriating aspects of being alive. Not only are there many more different flavors of pain than there are of pleasure, pain is generally experienced as being more painful than pleasure is pleasurable. This means, in order to have a non-miserable life, you need significantly more pleasure than pain. The same is true in your relationships. In this episode, I’ll discuss John Gottman’s ”magic ratio” of positive-to-negative experiences required to make relationships flourish.
