My editors at The New York Times over the last decade have been marvelously supportive of my many enquiries into new findings on the emotions, which first appeared in the pages of that paper and which inform much of this book.
Toni Burbank, my editor at Bantam Books, offered the editorial enthusiasm and acuity that sharpened my resolve and thinking.
And my wife, Tara Bennett-Goleman, provided the cocoon of warmth, love, and intelligence that nurtured this project along.
