Heaven and Hell: The Psychology of the Emotions
To control our emotions is to control ourselves, and to control ourselves is to control our destiny.
It has forever been said that we are ruled by our emotions, but this today is truer than ever. Much more than reason or tradition, it is our emotions that determine our choice of profession, partner, and politics, and our relation to money, sex, and religion. Nothing can make us feel more alive, or more human, than our emotions, or hurt us more. Yet, the emotions are utterly neglected by our system of education, leading to millions of mis-lived lives.
This book proposes to redress the balance, exploring over 30 emotions and drawing some powerful and astonishing conclusions along the way. Areas covered include: depression, anxiety, anger, boredom, laziness, guilt, envy, greed, ambition, lust, sadomasochism, humiliation, loneliness, courage, empathy, friendship, love, self-esteem, and much much more.

Emotions affect us every single second of our lives, yet we don't give them much thought. What is going on in the world right now has brought emotions right to the forefront as all of us are on a roller coaster of ups and downs due to the pandemic and all that has brought with it.
This book reminds us that emotions are an enormous part of our lives. Every day brings its own roller coaster, and any day can go from joyous to depressing.
Beyond the emotions that first come to mind, this book delves into emotions that we may be feeling but not recognize as such. The book covers these also, including (but not limited to): ecstasy, ambition, nostalgia, kissing, courage, envy, gratitude, greed, and laziness.
The author is a philosopher and a psychiatrist, which gives him insight into the areas of which he speaks. It was well written and quite interesting to read.

Heaven and Hell: The Psychology of the Emotions is an examination by psychiatrist and philosopher Dr. Neel Burton of a variety of human emotions. In his book, Burton details all sorts of facts from word etymology and philosophical discourse to how modern facets such as social media and technology affect our experiences today.
Unfortunately (for me, at least) the title of the novel was a bit misleading, as there wasn't much psychology discussed. Ultimately the text was much more philosophical than I would have cared for (I am someone who absolutely hated the required philosophy course at university); I would have much preferred for the author to take a more scientific or sociological stance, perhaps including social experiments or studies regarding and related to emotion.
The book was written well enough and professionally enough (although his chapter on depression seemed to unfairly criticize therapists and other behavioral health professionals, ironically enough), but the general tone and themes really weren't for me. Good quick read for someone who enjoys philosophy, however. 2/5 just due to enjoyment level.

Thought-provoking and insightful are the words I would use to describe this book. With 30 emotions explored, this is the go-to to book to understand our feelings, attitudes, behaviors and choices on a philosophical level.

I received this book through the Goodreads Giveaway.
To be honest, I am having quite the trouble finding the right words to review this book, so I will start just like the chapters in this book.
"You cannot open a book without learning something." - Confucius
I was lucky enough to study philosophy during my junior and senior year of high school in Germany and we were able to cover a lot of interesting parts about philosophy. Unfortunately emotions and their origins were not part of the curriculum. This book functioned as a great start.
There are 30 chapters and each chapter covers one emotion, from kissing, love, friendship to hope, anger and fear. Some chapters go more into depth then others, but at the same time you don't feel like you are missing out on information. Some emotions can be covered with little words, and instead of dragging an emotion on, the chapter comes to a rightful end.
I especially loved that the origins of almost every emotion were explained, so you could draw connections to already known things, which made it easier for me to understand each emotion in depth. At the same time, I enjoyed that each chapter began with a quote. This helped to set the theme of each chapter and emotion, so you knew what you were about to read (and I am also a sucker for quotes, poems and stories).
I learned so much from this book. I have so much information now and I don't really know what to do with it at this moment, but I am sure that everything that I learned will come in handy someday. During the two weeks of reading it, I already found myself thinking about passages from this book and validating them in my own mind.
Don't expect to understand everything that the author has written, some passages need additional information or pre-knowledge (which I partly had), so it can be confusing at first, but you will eventually get it.
Also don't expect to be an expert after finishing this book. Emotions are emotions and therefor can not be explained in 250 pages, I doubt that they can ever be fully understood, but this book is a great start to understand the philosophical and sometimes biblical view of emotions. For me, it was fun discovering our emotions and getting a stone into rolling in my mind. And that's all I can want from a book.

Neel Burton dedica 29 capítulos a 29 emoções.
É uma abordagem extremamente interessante no que respeita a este assunto. No entanto, talvez tivesse sido mais feliz, aprofundar a matéria de algumas emoções em detrimento de outras...
P. 84- "How to tell lust and love apart? While lust is hasty, furtive, and deceitful, love is patient, measured, and constant. While lust is all about taking, love is all about sharing. While lust is all about using, love is all about building. Lust can lead to love, but it is a poor start and a poor basis, akin to choosing your favourite book by the picture on its cover."
P. 136- "(...) patience frees us from frustration and it ills, delivers us to the present moment, and affords us the calm and perspective to think, say, and do the right thing in the right way at the right time(...)"

As a psychology major, I was very intrigued. However, while I loved reading about Burton's view on human emotions, there was more philosophy than actual psychology. I did like the way the book's chapters was broken up into different emotions, but unfortunately, I think the author would have been better able to go into in-depth discussions if he limited the emotions talked about to just a few. Overall, I found it an interesting view on emotions that contained well-thought out discussions, but I definitely wouldn't limit your reading on the subject to this book.

A book I won in a Goodreads Giveaway.
This book looks at 29 different emotions such as boredom. laziness, etc. Each of these emotions are detailed in a chapter. The prologue is as the author said, heavy on psychiatric, analytic jargon. He even suggested the reader skip this section as it might be too hard for the average layman to understand.
Each chapter is short and heavy on philosophical analysis as well as psychiatric. It might have been better for the author to choose a few emotions and go into deeper depth about them.

I received this book through the Goodreads Giveaway - so thank you.
Also, English is not my first language so feel free to correct any mistake I could possibly make while writing this review.
It's been years since I studied psychology and philosophy in high school, so it took me a while to find that mind-set and that concentration.
I think a pre-knowledge is due when reading this book and even if I had studied those subjects many years ago, I struggled nonetheless.
I had other expectations - I expected much more psychology and not so much philosophy.
I liked to discover the origin and the original meaning of every emotion and I still remembered Abraham Maslow, but I always had a controversial relationship with philosophy - that's why I struggled, because not everything made sense to me.
I mean, it had been difficult in my own language back when I was in high school, now it has been a battle altogether.
That said, it was interesting because I never questioned myself about the different shades and meanings of a single emotion - maybe we don't want to take our time to analyze them and to call them with their proper name.
Even if it wasn't exactly what I expected, it sure gave me something to think about.

A Deep Dive Into “Emotions”
I do love to read a book on occasion that gives me a mental workout, and this one certainly had my brain doing calisthenics! The author is clearly well read and a deep thinker. The Heaven and Hell of the title have to do with emotion, and how it can sink us down into depths and lift us up to heights. The author follows a progress of sorts, from boredom to ecstasy. His definition of emotion is somewhat loose, as he characterizes concepts like ambition and lust as emotions. Each emotion’s section as detailed in the book looks at the deep history of the concept, harkening back to the ancient Greeks and other historical writers to give a perspective on the emotion. Fascinating reading! This is a deep and weighty book, especially the introduction (which is particularly technical), so I recommend reading it in small doses so you do not over-fatigue your mind. I fear that could happen quite easily. But, oh, what a journey! If your mind is in need of a little exercise, this book will certainly fill the bill.
I received a free copy of this book, but I also purchased it; my review is affected by neither.

While not its intention, this book could easily serve as a layman's dictionary and mini-encyclopedia of our emotions.
The author combines a wide range of philosophical thinking throughout the ages with religious views and scientific studies to clearly explain and delineate our different emotions.
Understanding human emotions, and being able to differentiate diverse and varied emotional feelings, is paramount for anyone seeking greater self-knowledge and self-understanding. As Dr. Burton points out, "Nothing can make us feel more alive, or more human, than our emotions, or hurt us more."
Too often, in today's hectic 24/7 never-stop world, we react emotionally to situations, events, and people. Understanding our emotions as they occur puts us in a better position to control how we express our emotions and better enables us to respond rationally and cognitively. In this regards, the author has provided us all with a great reference book.
The author is obviously well-educated and has a wonderful ability to link, or contrast, divergent views and thinking on our emotional selves. I thoroughly enjoyed his writing and have already ordered another of his books to read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Acheron Publishers for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
In each chapter of Heaven and Hell, Neel Burton breaks down an emotion in it's entirety; the meaning of the word, some history and why we might feel or behave this way.
I very much enjoyed this read. It's definitely very philosophical so that is something to be aware of if that is typically not your preference. I have always loved reading about psychology, how the brain works and why humans do the things they do. This book is proof that we are complex creatures, and behaviors and emotions that seem simple to understand are not always so--sometimes the reason for us doing specific things don't even seem to follow a trend line until fully explained. This was eyeopening for me and it definitely challenged me to think. Certain chapters even made me aware of my own behaviors and it gave me things to reflect on.

A new author for me and I expected this book to be more of an introspective- self help to find yourself kind of a book, it isn’t. I don’t think this book is for the light hearted. It is a mixture of Greek Philosophy, Christianity et all with a self help theme. It’s not to say that I found some areas interesting, I did but I simply am not as enthusiastic as some of the other reviewers. There are many ideas and descriptions about human psychology and behaviour which I found almost text book compared to an easy read. I am torn about this book. Maybe it is more that the book was completely not what I expected at all. I think the title is misleading. Either way, it felt more like this belonged as required reading in Psychology 101, than a pleasure read which makes my review nether for or against.
July 15, 2020
I received a free ARC of this book and am leaving an honest review. Previously, I had reviewed another title from this author, Hypersanity, which was kind of all over the place. Deciding to give his writing another shot I signed on to review this title. While Heaven and Hell was a better read, it, at times, felt like a lengthy vocabulary lesson rather than psychology book. Some of the tidbits of philosophy made for an interesting read. However, I can't say that I would recommend this book overall.

Extraordinary breadth
This is a very cool book. A huge list of emotions with an eclectic mix of references, many spiritual. Some of the subjects warranted greater depth but that would have changed the rhythm of the book. Where the book is at its best is when it veers into the philosophical. There are extraordinary snippets of wisdom and flashes of real brilliance. The book has inspired me to buy more by the author and I hope to be equally awed by the breadth of knowledge on display

Một lựa chọn khác lạ so với mình của mọi khi. Cuốn sách mô tả 26 loại cảm xúc cụ thể với cách trình bày khá mạch lạc, dễ nắm bắt. Mình cũng khá ưng ý phần dịch vì nó không hề khô khan, học thuật.
Cảm xúc cuối cùng mà tác giả nhắc đến là "Ngây ngất", và đây cũng chính là cảm xúc/trạng thái mà mình yêu thích nhất: "Ngây ngất - ecstasy, nghĩa đen là 'thoát xác hoặc đứng bên ngoài chính mình'... đặc điểm... là sự xoá bỏ các ranh giới, với cái tôi sáp nhập vào tất cả các hiện hữu khác... Nói như Balzac, con người chết trong tuyệt vọng còn linh hồn chết trong ngây ngất".

Enlightening.
A good book, though maybe improperly named. It explains the emotions in conjunction with philosophy and only occasionally crosses into realm of psychology. Because it is written in textbook format, it is a little dry. Not exactly a pleasure read. But I came out on the other side of it more enlightened than when I started.

I won this book as a Goodreads giveaway. I will used this book in the future as reference material when I want to think about the finer points of different emotions. I appreciated the detailed analysis the author undertook in describing the distinctions between emotions and feelings. However, I would have benefited from more of a roadmap on the building blocks of emotions or the interconnectedness. The order of the discussion did not have a logical flow to me.
January 28, 2020
I wouldn’t use the term psychology to describe what this book covers. Philosophy is far more fitting. While I felt the title was a bit misleading, it was a very interesting approach to emotions and their origins. I don’t think that this is a book for a recreational reader, but one who already has a slight grasp on the subject matter and is looking to find more knowledge for the sake of knowledge. Still an insightful book that was interesting to the last page.
February 26, 2018
I received this ebook through Goodreads Giveaways.
I found this book to be a well researched presentation of emotions. I like the combination of science, psychiatry, philosophy and spirituality. I wish this would have been available when I was doing my graduate work in psychology. It isn't as dry as the textbooks. Well done.

Interesting
I found parts of this book to be insightful for me, parts of it deep and illuminating, parts of it almost dull and dreary, and parts left me indifferent. It must have been a rough day. So all in all, because of those parts I found so good, I'll call this book interesting. I'm glad I read it for those parts.

Just brilliant
I saw this book and was immediately interested as I do like
to read books on philiosophy andp sychology.This book did not disappoint and I have downloaded a lot more of Dr Neel Burton's books. I found this book very thought provoking and I like the way he used Greek stories,in some cases fables and mythology to enrich the story. Hugely enjoyable.

I may be the minority here but I couldn’t even get through the whole book. The information seemed so scattered and never really to the point. I couldn’t even tell you what the purpose of the book even is....are emotions good or bad? Good thing this was a free book because now I don’t feel bad not finishing it
August 7, 2021
I read this book expecting psychology but was surprised with the philosophy of emotions, it was a pleasant surprise though. I was introduced to a different perspective and, therefore, a deeper understanding of emotions. This book has inspired me to think more about my and others' emotions and to look into how these concepts have developed over time. I'd really recommend this book!

whoa talk about getting in touch with your emotions, I learned alot from this book.
I thought the research was great and a lot touched home.
thank you good reads for the free kindle book.

I loved this book it covered alot of topics from depression, forgiveness and to love. Although i didn't understand most of the things that was said like Plato this book was helpful. i give it four stars and i thank Netgalley for letting me read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Boring and only listed definitions of the emotions or character traits and includes references to back it up but is not a self help or even interesting book.

5 stars is not wrong when his books help so many. I have listened to the audio book twice and I felt confident pursuing my endeavours.

Haha. Someone likes to spew words without saying anything. A piehole spew with no pertinent news. Waste of any normal persons time.
