Handbook of Emotions

by Michael Lewis (Editor), Jeannette M. Haviland-Jones (Editor)

Once relegated to the back burner of psychological science, emotions are now recognized as an essential area of interdisciplinary investigation. This fully revised and updated second edition of the Handbook of Emotions provides a comprehensive analysis of what is currently known about emotion in human behavior. Demonstrating the vitality and strength of the field--and illuminating promising directions for future research--new and revised chapters bring readers up to date on the extensive theoretical and empirical gains that have been made since the publication of the classic first edition. Unique in the breadth and depth of its coverage, the second edition of the Handbook is the definitive resource for students, researchers, and clinicians.

Ursulas Le Gvinas (Ursula K. Le Guin) vārdi: “Mīlestība nav kā akmens, kas vienkārši tup; tā ir kā maize, ko gatavojam; katru reizi no jauna, atkal un atkal.”

Absolutely essential if you want to know the new paradigms in the emotions research.

[Ogi Ogas · Rating 4 out of 5]

My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.

Looking for background to validate my theory on emotional economics...

An excellent contemporary reference on the psychology of emotions, with sections on neurology, development, social psychology, personality, cognition, and health.
