Psychology says people are being emotionally bankrupt and don't even know: Philosopher explains how

Most of us go through life feeling vaguely tired, not physically, but in a feeling that's harder to explain. We snap at people we love. We struggle to concentrate. We lie in bed at night feeling drained, even though nothing particularly disturbing happened that day.We blame stress, sleep, or our schedules. But what if the real reason is something simpler and something entirely within our control?Think about the last time something small completely ruined your day. Maybe it was a coffee order that came out wrong. A flight that got delayed by forty minutes. A long queue at the grocery store when you were already tired.While on the surface, none of these things should matter very much. And yet, for a lot of us, they do, and because of all this, the mood drops. The whole day feels impacted by something that, in the larger picture, is entirely insignificant.
