I can see why D. fix-your-emotions Goleman plays the 
I-wash-your-back-and-you-wash-mine game with HHDL. The Tibetan doctrine 
of  compulsory compassion in order to get enlightened and become happy 
yourself has the same hypocrisy and logical flaw as his theory of 
destructive emotions. Not by accident, because both are besed on 
abhidharma metaphysics.
