Damasio claims that individuals yearn to achieve well being and a contended life.
It is rooted in the brain composition/structure and our genetics allowing individuals to explore life subjectively and objectively.
The brain is powerful and it allows individuals to function wholesomely if possible.
With the help of the brain and body mechanisms, we can construct explanations for different past present and future situations we encounter.
The biological entity of an individual allows us to have balance (homeostasis) or in other words, survive.
We naturally strive to achieve the goals of self actualization and work to overcome any obstacles that can come along. We prefer joy and not sorrow naturally. We yearn for joy.
Evolution has allowed us to adapt with different situations, negative or positive.
Damasio tried to base the theories that he mentioned in biological terms for empirical evidence. However, he made it clear that biology cannot explain everything. Biology is only a fraction of the equation, a significant one indeed.
