A better title for this article might have been "Why we need to think beyond our instincts, emotions, and feelings." I recommend Rationality by Steven Pinker.

The argument here is that we need to be aware of both our "instincts, emotions and feelings" as well as our rational mind. This is a view that's been supported by psychological research for a long time.

I think Compassion Focused Therapy does the best job at modelling all of this. Paul Gilber's "Living Like Crazy" would be good for anyone interested in this stuff

Really?

The way I read it, I would say the opposite with a title of

"Why we should stop thinking and just live by embracing our instincts, emotions, and feelings."
