We live in a world of constant change. Our lives are fast-paced and we are often required to transform our mindsets and adapt to the modern reality of today. People are obsessed with the future and the ways in which we, as people, can thrive in it. In order to create a bright future for humanity, world leaders and organisations should consider finding a way to welcome emotions, and not only the rational part of our brains. Extensive research on emotions has influenced our perception of them. Instead of discarding them, we should try to use them in the best possible way in order to be able to flourish. The first step is to start nurturing the so-called self-transcendent emotions, which include: empathy, gratitude, and wonder. Having and acknowledging these emotions can help people manage complex situations that require cooperation and sharing ideas. Showing empathy, even for future generations, can encourage people to start taking measures for preserving the planet.
