He was the first adult who managed to see Marc, listen to him, and recognize the suffering, bullying, and abuse he'd endured. The core of his approach is a legacy from his childhood, from an astute uncle who gave him permission to feel. In his 25 years as an emotion scientist, he has developed a remarkably effective plan to improve the lives of children and adults - a blueprint for understanding our emotions and using them wisely so that they help, rather than hinder, our success and well-being.
