Olde Time Neurobiology

title Understand Your Emotions
description "We came here to learn about emotions, not play children's games." A 1950 educational psychology film directed at teens of the day. Definitely different than Ekman's basic emotions, and so wrong about the thalamus. Amazingly boring yet comical at the same time, in that special way only time can produce.

Exuberance!

title Exuberance: The Passion for Life
description Keynote address at the 19th Annual Conference of Sarah D. Barder Fellows (Teacher Wellness Conference). Examines positive emotions often overlooked by psychology: how exuberance and passion influence society by affecting risk-taking, resilience, achievement, creativity, and teaching. Also looks at exuberance and mania: at what point does passion become pathological? Jamison's an excellent speaker. This talk is based on her book Exuberance: The Passion for Life. I encourage you to read it - I loved it, it's a fantastic and inspiring book!
