The basic premise is that emotions are as logical as reason and just as important to a healthy life. From the first breath, every baby experiences pleasures or pains and quickly learns to recognize what leads to either.

Throughout one's life, a person builds upon experiences and develops a unique pattern of the meanings and values of life.
