Handbook of Emotions, Third Edition

by Michael Lewis

Now in a thoroughly revised and expanded third edition, this authoritative handbook reviews current knowledge about all aspects of emotion and its role in human behavior. The field's foremost researchers explore how emotion intersects with biology, developmental processes, social behavior, personality, cognition, and physical and mental health. Also presented are state-of-the-science perspectives on specific emotions, such as fear, anger, shame, disgust, positive emotions, and sadness. Extensively rewritten to reflect major scientific, theoretical, and clinical advances, the third edition features many new chapters and authors. New topics include emotion regulation, neuroimaging approaches, emotions in psychotherapy, the social functions of emotion, emotional complexity, emotion across the lifespan, transdiagnostic emotional disturbances in psychopathology, and much more.

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.
