The Surprising Benefits of Guilt: Dr. Chris Moore on the Hidden Power of Moral Emotions Ep. 69

Описание: In this episode of The Interlocutor Podcast, I speak with psychologist Chris Moore about his fascinating book The Power of Guilt: Why We Feel It and Its Surprising Ability to Heal.

Guilt is often seen as a negative emotion, but what if it actually plays an important role in human relationships, morality, and psychological healing?

Dr. Moore explains why guilt evolved, how it differs from shame, and why the ability to feel guilt may be one of the key traits that allows humans to cooperate, repair relationships, and live ethical lives.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why guilt exists from an evolutionary perspective
• The difference between guilt and shame
• How guilt helps repair relationships
• When guilt becomes unhealthy or toxic
• Why guilt can actually promote psychological growth
• How societies use guilt to maintain moral norms

This conversation explores the psychology, philosophy, and social role of guilt, and why learning to understand it may help us live better lives.
