"Emotional Awareness: Overcoming the Obstacles to Psychological Balance and Compassion" is a book that features an edited transcription of 39 hours of dialogue between the Dalai Lama and renowned psychologist Paul Ekman.

The book addresses various topics such as the importance of mindfulness, the evolutionary function of moods, meditative breathing, and the cultivation of compassion. Ekman and the Dalai Lama, being deeply serious scholars, investigate topics like the varieties of anger, the destructive potential of contempt, and the power of forgiveness, providing a wealth of fascinating insights.

The book is noted for its intellectual depth, with the authors discussing everything from traditional Buddhist thought to Western philosophy, Darwin, communism, and personal anecdotes. However, the musings are sometimes buried beneath conversational meandering and tangential discussions, which might challenge some readers. The Dalai Lama's humor and curiosity, however, add a lively element to the text​​.
