Description

A unique bond formed between the Dalai Lama and Paul Ekman when the two first met in 2000. Following their first encounter, the two men spent 40 hours in discussion over three subsequent meetings.

These groundbreaking conversations are captured in their new book, Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion.

At this free event, Ekman--one of the world's foremost authorities on emotions and facial expressions, and a member of Greater Good magazine's editorial board--will present highlights from their discussions, accompanied by photos and audio excerpts from his conversations with the Dalai Lama. In 2001, the American Psychological Association named him as one of the most influential psychologists of the 20th century.

Event presented by: Greater Good magazine and the UC Berkeley Greater Good Science Center, the Harold E. Jones Child Study Center, and the Graduate School of Journalism Felker Magazine Program.
