The Emotional Roller Coaster:

Gary is his own worst enemy. I sit in amazement day after day as I see him wage war on himself. Sure, sometimes he is yelling at his girlfriend, or the person at his job who he thinks isn't giving him the respect he deserves, but for the most part he isn't at odds with them so much as he is simply just compelled to constantly create drama in his own life. What is he thinking? Why is it that he seems to crave drama in his life?

A few days ago, Gary and his girlfriend Melinda had what I like to call one of their little episodes. I know because I was there as it happened. I live next door to Gary. It's the exact same thing as you hear it on TV talk shows. Melinda is on medication for being bipolar. She skips out on taking her meds, goes crazy, and bingo bango they are fighting. She physically attacks him. He pushes her away a little too forcefully and she falls. One of her girlfriends calls the police, and next thing, Gary is in handcuffs. The high point of this stupidity is when she later says, "but I love him." This reoccurs every few months or so. Now, you would think that Gary would wise up, get a restraining order, and find a "normal" girl, but no, he doesn't. Not more than 24 hours after the police have left, he tells me that his apartment is just so quiet without her. He misses her. He is nuts! He would rather have a clinically crazy girl nagging and occasionally attacking him than a quiet apartment.

I'm sure you know people who behave like this. Maybe they habitually use drugs to get as high as the moon and then suffer though the hangover after. Maybe they are in a bad relationship like Gary and Melinda. Maybe even you have something repetitive that you do that takes you through emotional highs and lows for no logical reason. It's time for you to finally understand what's built into every human that compels us to behave in this way.

All that I teach is rooted in the science of evolution. If you want to understand why people behave the way they do, evolutionary psychology will give you the answer. Your brain and how it works is the product of evolution. Evolution is not a fast process. The "software" that is running in your head is about 40,000 years out of date. So you are living in today's world, but your head is wired for the world of 40,000 years ago. This mismatch is the number one cause of all the bad decisions that people make today.

40,000 years ago, life was much more difficult. If you were alive back then all you thought about was hunting/gathering food, trying to not become dinner for some other animal, and if you were lucky, reproduce before dying at a very young age. Life was very, very stressful. It was programmed into you that survival and huge emotional swings went hand in hand. The reason we developed this over 40,000 years ago was because it was an advantage to us. Your ancestors craved situations like this because it was to their benefit. There were two options back then:

OPTION ONE: Cower in the back of a cave too scared to leave to gather food and hunt. They sit there until they get so weak that they either just die or the first fierce animal that finds them has no problem making dinner out of them.
