 LESSON 2: THOUGHTS, FEELINGS,
AND BEHAVIOR

The only things we can control in life are our thoughts, feelings and
behaviors. If we can manage those, we can achieve our goals success in life
and gain.
Roughly speaking, we have two thinking systems, “autopilot system” and
“intentional system” by Daniel Kahneman
AUTOPILOT SYSTEM corresponds to our emotions and intuitions. Its
cognitive processes take place mainly in the amygdala and other parts of
the brain that developed early in evolution.
INTENTIONAL SYSTEM reflects our rational thinking and centers
around the prefrontal cortex. This thinking system helps us handle more
complex mental activities such as managing individual & group
relationships, logical reasoning, probabilistic thinking and learning new
information & patterns of thinking and behavior.
 AUTOPILOT SYSTEM INTENTIONAL SYSTEM

• Fast, intuitive, • Conscious, reasoning,

emotional self mindful self
• Requires no effort • Takes intentional effort
• Automatic thinking, to turn on
feeling & behavior habits • Drains mental energy
• Used mainly when we
• Mostly makes good learn new
decisions, 80% of time information, and when
we use reason and
logic
 (ALBERT BANDURA, 2006) suggests that we learn
mostly through observations— observing others' actions,
behaviors and the outcome of these behaviors. The more
productive and positive the outcome of behaviors
observed, the more the behavior is highly repeated and
eventually rewarded.
Our practical adjustment to the pandemic times is
already an example. How people adjust to such a crisis—
for some, can adjust easily and understand the
predicament that they are experiencing.
