My guest today is Barbara Fredrickson, a professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. She is the Kenan Distinguished Professor of Psychology, and the Principal Investigator of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Lab at the University of North Carolina. She is a social psychologist that conducts research in emotions and positive psychology.

The topic is her book Love 2.0: Finding Happiness and Health in Moments of Connection.

In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:

• Inner-experiences and well being
• The undoing effect
• Positive negative ratio
• The body’s definition of love
• Depression
• The idea of soul mates
• Emotional connections
• Relationship of health and positive emotion

“When two people connect over shared positivity there is a biochemical cascade within each person.” – Barbara Fredrickson

“Positive emotions are equally altering our action urges but instead of narrowing them, they broaden our thought and action repertoire so that we can see the big picture and potentially go in many possible directions, not just one direction.” – Barbara Fredrickson
