Interesting book: Annoying

Very often, most people don't even understand their emotions. They don't know why they feel jealous, envious, and resentful. It's the "deafening noises" our minds make automatically. It's just how we're wired. We're out of control. Peter Gabriel addressed this in No Self Control and Shock the Monkey: "I will pick up the phone and call any number--I will talk to anyone", i.e. just make the cognitive dissonance stop.
