In this episode, our conversation focuses on emotion, emotion regulation, emotion expression, and wisdom. First, we address what emotions are, and how we can study them. Then, we talk about how culture can influence emotions in their several domains. We also talk about some specific innate aspects like personality. Then, in the second part, we discuss what is wisdom, some of its components, and the benefits that individuals and societies can get from promoting it.
