PSI CHI DISTINGUISHED SPEAKER 2016
April 29, 2016 in Long Beach, CA

Presenter: Dacher Keltner, University of California, Berkeley

Chair: Ethan A. McMahan, Western Oregon University

Synopsis
In this talk I will detail the some of the science based insights that led to elements of the film, "Inside Out." I will focus in particular on four themes: that people are their emotions; that emotions guide our thought and memory; that emotions shape our social interactions; and that the good life requires a mixture of many emotions, both negative and positive.
