Great talk. I've read Emotional Intelligence and found its rational approach to handling difficult feelings instantly calming. While Thomas Scheff instructs us to 'release' our emotions, this author exposes the threat of overindulging certain emotions and becoming addicted to their chemical processes - as an angry person might grow dependant on the energizing adrenaline surge produced by his angry fits and its accompanying sense of power. Makes sense and fits the profile of some acquaintances
