good pilot!
Its pretty interesting pilot! I got a good understanding on academic side of understanding emotions, not something we think a lot it has a science behind. Thanks Wondrium for the pilot and hopefully we will get a complete course!

Good presentation
The presenter was articulate and expressed himself understandably. He appeared to be open physically, emotionally and intellectually, an easy person to like, trust and accept his views.

Great lecturer
Really enjoyed this lecturer, and this is a topic that I'd love to explore more. Our society is very emotionally unintelligent and so it's a very timely addition to the other programs that the Great Courses has to offer.
