\"Victor<\/p>\n

For centuries, people have debated, measured, regulated, and theorized about emotion. But no single work has attempted to define the full landscape of everyday emotional states across disciplines \u2014 until now. My guest this week on Destination Unlimited, D. Earl Johnston, presents the first fully cross-disciplinary reference that defines 272 emotional states, drawing on 3,000 years of recorded thought in the fields of philosophy, science, linguistics, psychology, art, and spiritual traditions. D. Earl Johnston is a former corporate executive, testifying expert, and world champion sailor. Over a multi-decade career spanning banking, private equity, and litigation consulting, he developed a sustained interest in language, motivation, and emotional definition.<\/p>\n

His website is https:\/\/choosingemotions.com\/<\/a>, and he joins me this week to share his groundbreaking new book, Choosing Emotions: Thinking with Your Head and Acting with Your Heart.<\/p>\n
