I listened to Keltner's emotion course on a podcast.

He doesn't look at all like I suspected!! lol

He's a good prof.

I am glad to have my faith in the goodness of humanity explained not by religion, but in terms of the Darwinian selection of emotions that enabled groups of early mankind to better form strong bonds to help them raise vulnerable infants to maturity, nurture fragile elders who held wisdom, knowledge and experience, and pass these traits on to their descendants.

It is wonderful to see that emotions such as compassion, love, sympathy, awe, and gratitude can be demonstrated by today's technology.

Keltner was hands down my favorite professor at Cal. I'm excited to read his book!
