Bordeaux Wine Regions of the Left Bank

As the Gironde River makes its way from the Atlantic Ocean inland into the southwest of France, its tributaries, the Garonne and the Dordogne, detach the wine-growing region of Bordeaux into left and right banks. There is also an area in the middle of the two tributaries that is often referred to as "Entre-deux-mers" - literally, "between two seas."

The traditional red grape varietals of Bordeaux are Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot. The traditional white grape varietals are Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon and Muscadelle.

Truffle Cultivation

The red wines produced on the left bank of Bordeaux are based on the Cabernet Sauvignon grape, and hence are imbued with a good deal of tannins. A typical blend will be 60 to 70 percent Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, the expanding of which softens the Cabernet. The left bank generally produces big and tannic Cabernet-based red wines with pronounced black currant and cassis flavors. These wines have incredible aging inherent and most are meant to be cellared.

North of the city of Bordeaux and the first region encountered from the Atlantic Ocean as the Gironde River makes its way into France is the area referred to collectively as Medoc. Within Medoc, from the ocean inland are St. Estephe, Paillac, St. Julien and Margaux. South of the City of Bordeaux, the left bank continues into Graves, with its sub-region of Pessac-Leognan, and Sauternes.

All Bordeaux wines are heavily influenced by terroir - the blend of soil characteristics, location and climate that affects the particular expression of a grape. The soils on the left bank are gravelly and that is one surmise Cabernet Sauvignon is featured in these wines. Gravel soils encourage deep root penetration as the vines must find nutrients under the gravel, stabilizing the vines and providing consistent intake of water.

Variations among the Bordeaux wines from the left bank are due to many factors - microclimate, varying amounts of gravel, limestone and clay, vinification practices, and presence to the Atlantic Ocean and the river marshes. The oldest wine-producing region in Bordeaux is Graves. Grapes have been cultivated here since at least the middle ages. Both red and white wines are produced from this region's gravelly soils, and the wines are dry, robust and earthy. The reds have red fruits and black currant, and often are said to have notes of cinnamon. In 1987, an area in the north of this region was given an appellation of its own - Pessac-Leognan. This is a Grand Cru (first-growth) appellation and the wines are pricey and of very high quality. Chateau Haut-Brion is perhaps the most customary Graves wine.

Also in Graves, Sauternes is notable for the sweet sweetmeat white wines made from Semillon grapes that have developed "noble rot" from the fungus Botrytis cinerea. In the rest of Graves, white Bordeaux wines are typically dry, crisp and refreshing, often made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc or a blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon.

Wines from the Pauillac region generally are full-bodied, tannic and acidic when they are young. As they age, typical Bordeaux black currant and cedar become apparent. This region of Bordeaux has three Grand Cru Chateaux -- Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, and Mouton Rothschild.

The Margaux region produces medium to full-bodied reds with typical red fruits, but these Bordeaux wines are often excellent for their perfume-floral bouquet. These wines are sometimes described as having toast and truffle nuances as they age. The most notable is, of course, Chateau Margaux, the region's only Premier Cru. The community of Cantenac also produces customary wines from this region.

St. Julien produces elegant and consistent wines, often described as the epitome of Bordeaux-style wine. St Julien does not have an Premier Cru designated wines, but does have several perfect Deuxieme Crus which are dreadful wines -- Loville-Las-Cases, Loville-Barton, Loville-Poyferr and Ducru-Beaucaillou.

The soils of the St. Estephe region possess more clay and therefore hold more moisture than the more gravelly soils of Margaux, Pauillac and St. Julien. In dry years, this is a specific advantage. These wines tend to have more substance the other left bank Bordeaux wines. Two of the most customary estates here are Montrose and Cos d"Estournel. St. Estephe has no Premier Cru designations, but these two Deuxieme Crus offer some of the best bargains in Bordeaux.

In 1855, Emperor Napoleon Iii requested that a classification theory for Bordeaux wines be instituted, resulting in the Bordeaux Wine lawful Classification of 1855, which ranked the wines into five categories. Those classified as "first growth," or "Premier Cru," some of the most costly wines in the world are:

Chteau Lafite-Rothschild, in the sub-region Pauillac
Chteau Latour, in the sub-region Pauillac
Chteau Mouton Rothschild, in the sub-region Pauillac
Chteau Margaux, in the sub-region Margaux
Chteau Haut-Brion, in the sub-region Pssac-Leognan of Graves

The region called "Entre-deux-mers" is situated in the middle of the two tributaries of the Garonne and the Dordogne. Wines produced here are predominantly from Sauvignon Blanc, sometimes blended with Semillon and Muscadelle for buildings and depth. These are fresh and fruity dry white wines with distinctive Sauvignon Blanc aromas.

A Short History of the Pinot Noir Wine Grape

Pinot Noir is one of the oldest vine grape varieties known and was named by the noble Pinot house after the pinecone shape of the grape bunches. Pinot's been cultivated in Burgundy since the 1st century Ad. One legend has it arriving in Burgundy via the Aedui from their invasions of Lombardy and Italy. Another legend has it arriving via the Romans while other tales refer to the Romans seeing Pinot already established in the region.

With the Barbarian invaders driving the Romans from the region, the Catholic church inadvertently became custodian of the fine Pinots. The monks used Pinot Noir in their sacraments and hence gained approval for the wine. They improved the varietal through careful vineyard practices and by the 6th century, most of Burgundy was divided into church owned vineyards. The first documented mention of Pinot Noir in Burgundy doesn't occur till 1345. French monks brought the grape to the Rheingau region where it's been cultivated since 1470. Church owned vineyards were seized and distributed to families in Burgundy during the French revolution nearby 1789 resulting in an independently owned and run vineyard model that still survives today.

Truffle Cultivation

Burgundy is home to Pinot Noir. Within the Burgundy region, a 30-mile long by 2-mile wide stretch of land known as the Côte d'Or (Slope of Gold) consistently produces some of Europe's finest Pinots. This strip has ideal chalky, well-drained soil, good sunlight exposure with above median temperatures and gentle slopes. All characteristics you'll also find in Australia's top Pinot Noir growing regions.

Wonderful Pinot Noirs come from all over the world. It's grown in many countries and is known by dissimilar names in dissimilar countries.

Pinot is a difficult grape to work with. It's hard to get a consistent, great Pinot and the qoute starts with the plant. Pinot Noir is genetically unstable.

Pinot Noir seems to pick up every known vine disease, mould, fungus and/or pest. It's an early ripening collection so spring frosts are devastating. Pinot Noir at The Gurdies has budburst at the end of September, veraison (when the grape changes from green to purple) end of January to early February and we harvest in any place from the end of March in a hot season till the end of April in a cold season. When picked too late the thinskinned berries will shrivel up and lose all flavour. Extracting all the colour is Another challenge. When fully ripe, the Pinot Noir berry is a very light purple colour and requires careful handling to make the most of the light colour.
Pinot Noir goes through a range of changes as it matures. A young wine will show uncomplicated fruity characteristics including: cherry, plum, raspberry and strawberry. The complex flavours emerge as it ages revealing chocolate, earthiness, smoke and truffles. Only Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Meunier grapes are permitted in sparkling wines from the Champagne region. nearby the world other varieties are used to yield sparkling wines but Pinot Noir is a key collection in any place in the world.

All About Black Trumpet Mushrooms

Black trumpet mushrooms have a waxy grey surface and are known as fragile and trumpet-shaped. It is a very rich and buttery mushroom, beloved in French cuisine because of their unique flavor and texture. They have a unique fragrance which some population say smell like apricots. Black trumpet mushrooms are known to be pretty gritty, and you assuredly do want them as clean as you can get them. Make sure you pick over the mushrooms carefully and rinse if needed, then pat them dry and set on paper towels.

Although black trumpet mushrooms are delicious, they are also very little known. They are fragrant and fruity and go very well with fish or in cheddar cheese dishes. You can try them in a creamy soup or pasta sauce, risotto, or on pizza. As this mushroom type's fruity, musky nature pairs up well with dairy or cheese dishes. Try placing the mushrooms in a skillet on medium heat, and then melt some butter and sauté the mushrooms 4 to 5 minutes. Next season with salt and pepper to taste, but do make sure to support a small handful of the mushrooms for some terrine, and finely chop the rest.

Truffle Cultivation

Typically during the summer months in the Pacific Northwest is where you will find wild black trumpet mushrooms growing. This type of mushroom does not ordinarily grow on wood, even though they are said to sometimes have a woody flavor. This mushroom kind has a trumpet-shaped cap that lengthens down to the stalk. With a color ranging from dark red to light gray or nearly black, black trumpet mushrooms are extremely regarded for their unique and rich flavor. Coloring of the spore surface and stem can range from pale grey to a salmon color to nearly black with wrinkles or raised veins rather than gills. The cap and interior is ordinarily darker, salmon brown to black and hollow top to bottom.

All About Black Trumpet Mushrooms

Black trumpet mushrooms are part of the chanterelle house and can commonly be known as "the poor mans truffle." These mushrooms are ordinarily sold dried rather than fresh. These mushrooms look like little trumpets (or vases if you prefer that image), which rings quite true to its name, and have a distinctive smoky flavor that even borders on buttery. These mushrooms can turn any basic dish into something spectacular. They are mostly sold in specialty markets so they can be hard to find if you are not used to shopping for mushrooms. They can also be a bit on the pricey side; but just a little bit of these mushrooms will go a long way. These mushrooms are known for their added depth and woodsy aroma and work endlessly with cream sauces.

This type of mushroom is a excellent candidate for dried mushroom powder because of the earthiness that ensues within the dehydration process. Dried mushrooms are a delicious way to add a vibrant and pleasant taste to vegetarian and vegan dishes. You will see that black trumpets most all the time grow in synchronicity with some type of moss. And if you spray any type of pesticide on your lawn to kill the moss that harbors these little mushrooms, there's no way you'll find any black trumpets growing there in the future.

Black trumpets are pickable when they are at least two to three inches in height, but can sometimes grow up to six or seven inches tall. This sometimes resembles clusters of black or dark gray rabbit ears. Unlike any other flavor, black trumpet mushrooms have a unique deep, delicious taste weather they are fresh or re-hydrated. These black trumpets are a true wild mushroom that is almost impossible to cultivate. Thus, their arrival in markets and restaurants is restricted to their natural season.

Although, in the Ozarks, black trumpets tend to almost grow year round, they are most abundant in the springtime after good rain, and in the fall. In some years, black trumpet mushrooms are astoundingly plentiful, and then pitifully scarce in other years. But these mushrooms do assuredly dry well. Use the lowest setting you can if you plan on drying them in a food dehydrator. Black Trumpet mushrooms as well as cinnabarinus mushrooms will still be good a year after harvesting them. All you need to do is place them in some water and let them plump back up for a few hours before using them.

All About Black Trumpet MushroomsThe Scent of Black Tube. Duration : 12.10 Mins.

In the Cahors region of France, black truffles are almost literally as valuable as gold in the culinary world. Prized for their glorious scent, black truffles are fungi that grow exclusively on the roots of oak trees. Found in late autumn and winter, the truffles cannot be seen since they grow under the ground. Pigs, or specially trained dogs have been used to search for these elusive truffles. About 20% of the French production comes from southwest France, which possesses the limestone soils and dry hot weather that truffles need to grow. In the late 19th century, an epidemic of phylloxera destroyed many of the vineyards in southern France. Large tracts of land were set free for the cultivation of truffles. Thousands of truffle-producing trees were planted, and production reached the peak of hundreds of tonnes by the end of the 19th century. Wars during the 20th Century decimated the fields. After 1945, the production of truffles plummeted, and prices rose dramatically. In 1900, truffles were used by most French people, and on many occasions. Today, they are a rare delicacy reserved for the wealthy, or used on very special occasions. Originally a common grape in Bordeaux, Malbec has lost popularity as one of the five varieties in the Bordeaux blends. Meanwhile, Malbec increased its status in the French region of Cahors, an area southeast of Bordeaux, where it creates distinctive wines that now require 70% of the variety.

Truffles The Most Expensive Food in the World Tube. Duration : 12.65 Mins.

February 8, 2012 (CBS News) European white truffles can sell for as much as 00 a pound, making them and their fellow fungi the most expensive food in the world. One two-pound truffle recently sold for more than 0000. All of which has brought organized crime into the truffle trade, creating a black market and leading to theft of both truffles as well as the highly valued truffle-sniffing dogs. Add to that the influx of the inferior Chinese truffles -- masquerading as their European cousins -- and you've got trouble with truffles. Lesley Stahl reports. The following is a script of "The Most Expensive Food in the World" which aired on Jan. 8, 2012. Lesley Stahl is the correspondent. Ira Rosen, producer. Just a couple of shavings of black truffles from France - known as black diamonds - can cost hundreds of dollars in a restaurant in Paris. White truffles from Italy can cost more than three times as much. Truffles are a fancy, delicious delicacy - some say an aphrodisiac - and, ounce for ounce, the most expensive food in the world. If you go to France and Italy, as we did, you learn quickly that truffles are under siege because they're becoming scarce. They're being trafficked like drugs, stolen by thugs and threatened by inferior imports from China. In the beautiful Italian province of Perugia, truffle hunters roam the frosty hills with their trained dogs, who sniff out these lumpy mushrooms when they're ripe, one at a time, as they have for centuries.

Pinot Noir Wine: Fickle But phenomenal

What makes Pinot noir wine so fickle yet so fabulous? The acknowledge is...it's all in the grape. Its character depends on how it is cultivated and how it is vinified. The growing conditions need to be just right to bring out the fruity flavors in the wine. The Pinot noir grape needs plenty of sunlight, the right soil type and the exquisite atmosphere to all work together in harmony to furnish an exquisite wine.

One thing's for sure the grapes are temperamental. Fantasize a fickle teenager with their mood swings and bad behavior. They are very difficult to rear while these years. They need constant supervision, understanding and discipline. Likewise, these tightly bound clusters of grapes behave in a similar fashion. They are difficult to grow. They need a lot of care and much supervision to furnish a remarkable wine. If the terroir isn't just right you will not have a capability wine.

Truffle Cultivation

The grapes need a cool atmosphere and soil that has good drainage in which to grow. Too hot of a atmosphere will furnish wines that are too sweet. The fruit loses its flavor. A good wine will exhibit flavors and aromas of cherry, strawberry, cinnamon, peppermint and sometimes-herbal flavors. When it is oaked you may also detect flavors of mushrooms, truffles and perhaps leather.

Pinot Noir Wine: Fickle But phenomenal

Even in the winery it has to be determined looked after because it will boil over its container. The pinot noir grape has more amino acids in its genetic makeup than other grapes, 18 in all. For this reason the grape is difficult to vinify causing it to be unstable and react violently while the fermenting process.

In spite of this, pinot noir is determined one of the healthiest wines to drink because of its high resveratrol content. Resveratrol is an anti-aging, antioxidant mixture found in red grapes and foods like peanuts, cranberries, pomegranates and blueberries. Granted that the grapes are thinned skinned it has devised a way to fend off attacks by pathogens and insects using resveratrol. Because this anti-fungal, anti-virus chemical is found in the grape skin the health benefits are passed on to us when the wine is made.

Resveratrols supposed health benefits includes fighting off cardiovascular disease, diabetes, allergies, viral infections, foresight disorders and cancer.

Nevertheless, because the vines prosper in cool climates some of the best wines come from wine producing regions with cool climates. Burgundy France, the Willamette Valley of Oregon, New Zealand, the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and northern California are important pinot noir producing areas. When you are searching for a good wine look for wines from these areas.

What makes this wine so remarkable is that its balance of fruit and wood flavors are in the right proportions. Its character is distinctively pinot noir. If you've tasted one of these wines you will have no qoute picking it from other wines in a blind taste test.

Hawaiian Grown TV - Kahuku Sea Asparagus - Marine AgriFuture - Segment 1

Hawaiian Grown TV - Kahuku Sea Asparagus - Marine AgriFuture - Segment 1 Tube. Duration : 8.50 Mins.

Swimming thousands of miles, Vladimir Vlamadamirdavich joins fellow colleague Wenhao Dr. Sun to tour the Kahuku sea asparagus farm. Still a very young company, Marine AgriFuture offers Kahuku sea asparagus tips, a tender and crispy sea vegetable. (It also goes by the names pickleweed, glasswort, sea bean, sea pickle and marsh samphire.) Sea asparagus is packed with phytochemicals that protect the liver, heart and cellular DNA. It is also rich in vitamins A, C, B2 and B15; amino acids; and minerals, such as iron, calcium and magnesium. Perhaps its healthful properties are one reason behind sea asparagus being called the it crop of 2006, when Marine AgriFuture began offering it on Oahu. The company reports that this vegetable can aid weight loss, boost energy, enhance the immune system, make certain vaccines more effective and destroy some types of tumor cells, particularly lung and blood cancers. Upon its launch in 2006, sea asparagus began showing up on the menus of several Oahu restaurants. Among them was Alan Wongs Restaurant. Chef Wong says, I like the crunch and burst of saltiness. There, sea asparagus was served with moi carpaccio and fresh truffle soy vinaigrette. Grown hydroponically on Oahus North Shore, sea asparagus is cultivated in salt water ponds that are inspected frequently for quality control. The regions weather is good for year-round production. Marine AgriFutures sea asparagus can be purchased at Times Supermarket. Marine AgriFuture, LLC PO Box 423 ...

Alligator Pasta With the Goodness of Avocado

Normally I make guacamole, a spicy dip, with avocados. Or I half the fruit and just squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the flesh. Scooped out with a spoon this is an at once gratifying treat. However, recently I found great avocados in the store and bought two kilograms. With this plentifulness I wanted to try something different.

On the internet I found many recipes for avocados, most of them originating in the United States of America. In California, avocado pie seems to be very popular. I even discovered a recipe for avocado-chocolate truffles. One day I will try my hand on this one.

Truffle Cultivation

First of all, I wanted to combine avocado with pasta. Inspired by my unabridged internet-research I came up with the following recipe which I call 'alligator pasta'. I decided to mingle the avocado with feta, roasted garlic, cherry tomatoes, fresh thyme and yellow bell pepper.

"Nice, salad for dinner", was my husband's reaction when he saw me preparing this dish. He took it well that the salad turned out to be condiment for pasta. "It works astonishingly well with the feta, but I could do without the cherry tomatoes and the bell pepper", was his response. I agree with him, but I also appreciate the extra vitamins, minerals and fibre from the added vegetables.

Alligator Pasta

Ingredients (for 4 servings):

• 1 big, ripe avocado
• 1 packet (200 grams) feta
• 1 packet (500 grams) Italian pasta
• 75 grams butter
• 200 grams cherry tomatoes
• 1 yellow bell pepper
• any fresh herb you like
• 6 big cloves garlic
• salt
• pepper

Method:

Put a big pot with water on the fire to cook the pasta. All the time salt the pasta water shortly before boiling. If you add the salt in the beginning, the water takes longer time to cook.

While the water is heating up, wash the cherry tomatoes and the bell pepper. Halve the tomatoes and cut the bell pepper into cubes. Wash and cut your herbs and place them together with the vegetables into a bowl. Salt and pepper the vegetables slightly and combine them well. Grate the feta cheese and keep aside.

Clean the garlic cloves and crush them. Melt the butter in a small pan and fry the crushed garlic until slightly brown. Be rigorous not to burn it.

When the water boils, add the pasta and cook according to the instructions on the packet. Drain the pasta, return it to the pot and mix it with the garlic butter. Add the grated feta cheese. Turn on the heat until the cheese melts. Keep a bit of feta aside for sprinkling over the top of the pasta.

Pour the pasta into the bowl with the vegetables and carefully blend it with the avocado-mix. You don't want to end up with a mush. Sprinkle the rest of the feta over the pasta and serve immediately.

Avocado - the healthy kind of fat

The name avocado has its origin in the Aztec word ahuacatl. The avocado tree has been cultivated in Central and South America since 8.000 Bce. During the 18th and 19th century, the avocado spread first to Jamaica and from there throughout the Asian tropical regions. The cultivation of avocado as a crop started in Florida and California at the starting of the 20th century.

Although avocados have a lot of fat, they belong to the healthiest fruits of our planet. They should not miss in any healthy diet.

Avocados comprise oleic acid, a monounsaturated fat that helps sacrifice 'bad' cholesterol levels and lowers the risk of breast cancer. In addition, it offers a lot of lutein, a carotenoid which enables the body to discharge food from other food sources. If you add some slices of avocados to your salad, your body can make greater use of the nutrients in the salad.

The large estimate of vitamin E in avocados boosts the immune system, keeps the skin healthy and prevents heart disease. The list of nutrients in avocados includes magnesium, vitamin C and vitamin B 6, folate, iron and potassium, a mineral that helps regulate blood pressure.

Foodstuffs from a former Matsuhisa protege include soy-mirin pork belly w/ pickled shallots, garlic oil-seared Imperial Wagyu w/ sun-dried tomato, garlic chips & ginger, and spaghetti carbonara w/ edamame, black pepper, and Benton bacon, which is only about one degree from your stomach. They've also got pasta (beef short rib Bolognese w/ pappardelle & shaved locatelli, free-form oxtail ravioli), seafood starters (salmon two ways, PEI mussels), and two egg dishes cooked to exactly 62 degrees: one with black truffle, sea salt, parsley & lemon on toasted brioche, and the other with five different mushrooms and a veal reduction, so presumably people in PETA will love this. They've also got a full bar, as well as a small selection of sushi and sashimi, which is a risky thing to order on a date, as not many people enjoy raw fish piled atop dried sweetened fruit.

We travel from emperor Frederick's medieval Castle del Monte in the north to Lecce, the most Baroque city in Italy and discover architectural jewels like Monopoli and Martina Franca. Ancient farmhouses along the Adriatic sea, "masserie" have been converted into Luxury resorts. Puglia has one 1000 hours more sunlight than the rest of Italy and the wines are full bodied and rich. Sea culture along the Adriatic grew a cuisine inspired by the sea and sea culture. Here are immense wineries belonging to aristocratic families, dating back to the land grants of the 16th century when Spain occupied Puglia. Local varieties like Primitivo and Sussumaniello imported from Dalmatia in the 7th century are the strength of Apulia, one of the great un-discovered food and wine heavens. Umbria Umbria has been untouched by large-scale tourism. Etruscans and Romans made wine in this fertile region 2500 years ago. Innumerable artists have lived here enriching its piazzas with architectural jewels and frescoed its churches and palaces with dazzling masterpieces.

The Scent of Black

The Scent of Black Tube. Duration : 12.10 Mins.

In the Cahors region of France, black truffles are almost literally as valuable as gold in the culinary world. Prized for their glorious scent, black truffles are fungi that grow exclusively on the roots of oak trees. Found in late autumn and winter, the truffles cannot be seen since they grow under the ground. Pigs, or specially trained dogs have been used to search for these elusive truffles. About 20% of the French production comes from southwest France, which possesses the limestone soils and dry hot weather that truffles need to grow. In the late 19th century, an epidemic of phylloxera destroyed many of the vineyards in southern France. Large tracts of land were set free for the cultivation of truffles. Thousands of truffle-producing trees were planted, and production reached the peak of hundreds of tonnes by the end of the 19th century. Wars during the 20th Century decimated the fields. After 1945, the production of truffles plummeted, and prices rose dramatically. In 1900, truffles were used by most French people, and on many occasions. Today, they are a rare delicacy reserved for the wealthy, or used on very special occasions. Originally a common grape in Bordeaux, Malbec has lost popularity as one of the five varieties in the Bordeaux blends. Meanwhile, Malbec increased its status in the French region of Cahors, an area southeast of Bordeaux, where it creates distinctive wines that now require 70% of the variety. GrapeRadio is proud to present a look at the ...

Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life

Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life Tube. Duration : 65.57 Mins.

Google Tech Talk December 9, 2009 ABSTRACT Presented by Dacher Keltner. Prof. Keltner will be presenting work related to his recent book "Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life": "In this talk I will survey the latest evolutionary and neuroscience that aligns with Charles Darwin's thesis that sympathy is our strongest instinct, or that we are born to be good. I will take the audience on a tour of recent evolutionary thought, which suggests that our hyper vulnerable offspring rearranged our brains, genes, and social structures. I will detail new research on the vagus nerve and oxytocin, branches of the nervous system that have evolved to enable cooperation, trust, and caretaking. I detail new signaling systems -- tactile communication and vocalization -- which are critical to the transmission of prosociality across individuals. Throughout the talk I integrate the latest science with the wisdom found in Eastern thought." Dr. Dacher Keltner is a professor of psychology at UC Berkeley, and Director for Greater Good Science Center.
