RHLSTP Book Club 56 - Emotional Ignorance. Richard talks to Dr Dean Burnett about why his book about emotions turned out differently than he had initially planned, why emotions may have evolved, the ancient connection between smell and memory, the three different types of tears, what we would be without emotion, why writing about a traumatic experience can be therapeutic, the difference (if any) between male and female brains, how we are affected by the emotions of others and whether the film Inside Out has got it basically right about how emotions are created.
