    “Book Descriptions: This 24-lecture course attempts to understand our emotions--how they provide insight and meaning--and the extent to which we are not passive but active regarding them. Our emotions, according to a recent theory, are imbued with intelligence, and a person's emotional repertoire is not a mattter of fate but a matter of emotional integrity.
