Well, we're going to start with a big question, Zoe Cress.

Yeah, well, I guess I've made a bit of a career out of working with people on their emotions. And as a psychologist, I was in the NHS for 10 years and then worked in a very kind of small private practice. And I would say, you know, all of that work, however diverse it was in terms of what people were dealing with,

mostly the common problem was there's this feeling or set of feelings that I have and I don't want to have them. And there's these other feelings that I would like to have more of the time, but I'm not sure how to access them. And nobody has this sort of manual for how to manage emotions and how to understand them and We don't even really have a great vocabulary for that.

You know, we're quite limited in you think about the sort of the diversity of the different sort of minute feelings that you can have throughout the day that apply to different situations. It was slightly different. You know, if you say, I feel joy one minute. Joy in a certain scenario might feel quite different to joy in a different scenario.

You know, the qualitative differences are there and you can feel that, but we don't necessarily have the words to express it. And we certainly don't have the sort of models to understand it. And, you know, it's only in recent years that people have even started to talk about them. So we're in the early stages, but it's, you know, exciting. Yeah.

No, and I don't think it's necessarily sort of our failure or our limitation that emotions can't be measured and quantified. I think it's a limitation of the method, isn't it? That why do we want to? We don't have to do that in order to want, you know, there was that real push actually, you know, in my career where we were asked to sort of, you know, measure things on scales and numbers and

And actually, when you looked at how that would be applied in the room with someone when you're working with someone, it was sort of really, really limited and how helpful it could be. You know, if someone came back with some kind of mood diary in which they'd kind of added a scale of... And you get this a lot on apps, don't you? You know, rate how you feel today out of 10 and...
