The Science of Feelings: What Psychological Research Tells Us About Our Emotions (Revised Edition) by Eugene Tee

In the last 50 years or so, psychological science has shed light on the essence of what makes us human—why we experience a range of feelings from joy to sadness, anger to fear, and compassion to contempt. Yet, the science of emotion remains mostly inaccessible to the curious reader and those outside academic circles. "The Science of Feelings" is a tale of our emotions, told by philosophers, biologists, neuroscientists, sociologists, and economists. Drawing on the rich psychological research on emotions, this revised edition offers the most up-to-date research findings, data and insights on the study of emotions, simplifying specialised knowledge into engaging, easy-to-read language. It discusses how emotions, empathy and well-being interact with technology in the age of AI and outlines key takeaways of each chapter for easy understanding.
