Emotions are at the heart of the human experience, shaping not only our mental state but also our physical health. Extensive research confirms their profound impact.
Emotions are where we motivated and moved, good post Shelly. They are “Tools for Living” as my friend Jaak Panksepp termed them. Check out his Affective Neuroscience.
I cite him often and currently to understand our current crisis of "Communicative Disease", that is, our Loneliness/Isolation epidemic in the developed economies that is a greater mortality risk than smoking or obesity.
His 5th Emotional System is termed CARE, and when that is lacking, his 6th PANIC/LOSS is activated and that is what is the main cause of our earlier mortality.
We literally need secure, intimate connection with a trusted other to live full lives.
Thus my motivation for my new project:
Growing Each Other Up--Linkages For Life Program for Intergenerational Co-Mentoring
Keep up your good work.

Ah, cool reference to "The Human Affectome Project", Jack... thank you, I look forward to digging into it. And I love the premise and title of your project, "Growing Each Other Up--Linkages for Life Program for Intergenerational Co-Mentoring" connecting young people with elderly. What a fantastic endeavor!
