Truth requires that we learn to
trust the compass of the heart and avoid to be misguided by the rational mind
and the opinions of others. In this regard, the neurologist Antonio Damasio,
studying people affected by decision-making deficits, discovered that feelings
contribute to the decision-making process, making advantageous choices possible
without having to make advantageous evaluations.[1]
