He is doing his scientific work on the emotions academically & assiduously, but I think he's personally looking for what you've been doing. He would appreciate a lot, I suspect!

I'm thinking, and you can laugh, that my work might be the missing link, because so many approaches to the emotions are about calming the body and the mind and just observing the emotion instead of engaging with it and learning what it's for. What I've found is that because I know what the emotions are for and what they mean, I can be with them as a friend, rather than needing to calm myself because of their presence. Does that make sense? Hi Michael,

I like your way of sharing & honoring the person. I would like your feelings/thoughts on the book Emotional Awareness by the Dalai Lama & Paul Ekman; the conversation between them seems to be a support to your work?
