The science of emotions

How do emotions impact the way we think, feel, and act?

Emotions may seem complicated, but by better understanding their value and function we can learn how to harness their power to enhance relationships and improve well-being. On this episode, Deloitte chief well-being officer Jen Fisher discusses the science of emotions with Dr. Dacher Keltner, the founding director of the Greater Good Science Center and a professor of psychology at the University of California Berkeley.

The view that we are coming to is that all of the emotions have their place and function, and they drive reason and behavior when done appropriately in the right ways.

– Dr. Dacher Keltner
