    Thank you. An extremely informative webinar dealing with empathy etc- should be available online for free as you succinctly shared some valuable insights. I’ve browsed the Atlas of Emotions and will be sharing with colleagues.

    Thank you Eve. This offered several strategies for both my personal and professional practice. You were straight forward and I deeply appreciate your work and all your related projects. It seems potentially transformational. Finally, when I read that you were a second generation emotion researcher, I had never considered identifying myself as a second generation teacher, so thank you.

    I appreciate your sharing specific strategies for fostering empathy. His Holiness the Dali Lama has spent time in Hawaii in the public schools. It made a positive impact. Even my special education students with significant autism and learning disabilities experienced calm and increased attention.

    Dear Eve! The Atlas of emotions is a go to in every classroom I have stepped into (>100). Children, educators, administrators, parents and community are stunned by the vocabulary which creates a conduit to name and tame (Dan Siegel) overwhelming emotional states.
