I really like the the scientific approach to analyzing our actions. I also like the distinction between the high and low roads. Reading Social Intelligence at the moment.

Fox's website describes that upcoming series as "a drama series inspired by a real-life specialist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body, and voice to expose the truth in criminal investigations." (Taken from http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/new/lie_to_me.htm). Here's a promo vid of the series: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=pGxDhWJ5y4k I think, "cool!" And what better place to post something about this than here? (Hmm, I wonder how Professor Ekman feels about this program.) If you have time Dr. Goleman, you may want to comment on how you feel about this :D? Best regards Yousuf PS If you didn't know already about this I hope this would be a nice surprise. :) What really brought me here at first was the fact that Fox Broadcasting are making a new series inspired by Paul Ekman.

This notion I think was mentioned in Daniel Goleman's Social Intelligence. That should be insightful if you don't have the book already. To me this is understandable, and could be seen as oppurtunity to practice compassion. That's just me anyway. tc Regards Yousuf Ellie,

I have a question. Which would it fall under in relation to what someone sees on the TV. This will sounds stupid and quite sad, but i have a habit of growing very attached to certain characters on TV that have particularly distressing storylines. I feel silly writing it down to be honest, but sometimes I get so wrapped up in it that I actually begin to feel nervous or angry or completely depressive for them. Silly really, but I find it very difficult not to let it affect me that way. Is this one of the three types of empathy? xElsx OK. I have a question.

I catch ppl's emotions, thoughts and body conditions the way too often and I can't detach for some reason. It doesn't happen at will and I wasn't born with this ability. Is there a simple way to stop it? Do you have any articles about this? I just wonder how you can stop empathy because it seems to get to extrime.

If they are skills, they can be acquired through reading and learning, but if they are talents, then is the outcome any different by just being aware of them? Thoughts?
