Fascinating overview and update

A fascinating overview and update for someone not having paid much attention to this field. Having been schooled in 70's, the scientific advances in the field of affective science, a field not in existence at that time, is truly amazing in its potential for understanding human behavior in everyday life. A highly recommended resource to this book is an online series of classroom podcasts produced by the University of California at Berkeley by co-author Dacher Keltner (available on iTunes and other sites).
