About This Book

In recent years-especially the past decade, in sharp contrast to preceding decades-knowledge in the field of emotions has been steadily increasing. This knowledge comes from many different specialties: Emotion is a truly interdisciplinary subject. Workers in the fields of physiology, neurology, ethology, physiological psychology, personality and social psychology, clinical psychology and psychiatry, medicine, nursing, social work, and the clergy are all directly concerned with emotion.

Our Review

This comprehensive guide to understanding human emotions draws from decades of interdisciplinary research, offering readers a scientific yet accessible exploration of what emotions are, how they develop, and why they matter. Drawing from psychology, neuroscience, physiology, and clinical practice, the book provides a thorough examination of emotional processes that shape human behavior and mental health. Rather than presenting abstract theories, it grounds emotional understanding in concrete biological and social contexts that readers can recognize in their own lives.

What makes this emotional intelligence resource particularly valuable is its integration of multiple perspectivesβ€”from laboratory studies to real-world applications in therapy, medicine, and daily life. Teen readers and young adults navigating their own emotional landscapes will find the scientific explanations illuminating, helping demystify why we feel what we feel and how emotions influence relationships, decision-making, and personal growth. The book ultimately empowers readers with knowledge that transforms emotional awareness from a mystery into a manageable aspect of human experience.
