After exactly nine workdays, journalist Raounak Khaddari felt certain: she had to leave her new employer. Despite the fact that the job seemed the best she could hope for, both to the outside world and to herself, she would never receive such a good salary again, and she had no plan B; and there was no fight. But she felt it. And because she felt it, she knew for sure.

In a society where everything is measurable (online), where success and ego play a significant role, and where we can't survive on emotion, reason must be given space. But how much?

In Hoe voel je (je)?, Journalist Raounak Khaddari searches for answers. She joins retreats, conducts research, and speaks with scientists and people who ignored their feelings for too long, believing they could only live by their intuition. Khaddari uncovers the unhealthy consequences of our collective compulsion to grow and finds ways to act on our feelings. She discovers that body, feeling, and cognition form a trinity for our actions, and we can't move forward if we ignore any one of these three for too long or too much. And that a huge market has emerged to help people with what they've had since birth: feeling. How do we get back to that?
