A thoughtful, "gleeful "encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world.
How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes?
Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS is for you. In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way.
From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives. Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers.
In reading THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?
可能在读之前抱有很大期望,等实际在读时发现:也就那样,没想象的那么好,书中概念定义模糊,也可能翻译问题,讲了很多概念,浅显易懂,有机会考虑读原文,姑且先看着吧。同时在读的还有丘吉尔的黑狗,自认为写得不错,有深度,读得懂需要费脑子,需要花费时间和精力去解读,...
评分 评分最近一段时间在学习心理学,在这过程中发现情绪对人的影响也是至关重要的!而本书则对人们的情绪进行了分类,并做出了相应的讲解,在极大程度上帮助我了解自己!!!!!!!!! 本书不仅讲解了情绪对人的影响,还有具体的出处以及在漫长的时间里,人们对这种情绪的认知变化!...
评分文/岸晓风 在日常生活中,我们经常听到这样的提问:“今天心情怎么样?”,那么,对方估计会回答,“嗯,今天很开心”,或者说“今天糟透了”。总之,一般而言,我们想象不到除此之外还是否有3-5种回答法。 显然,这是很不符合实际的。月有阴晴圆缺,人有悲欢离合,此事古难...
评分01 你会不会经常遇见一种情况,当自己处于一种状态的时候,却无法表达这种状态。 比如:和相爱的人短暂分别,离别之后的那种感觉什么样的呢? 思念?悲伤?还是忧愁?也许都不是,因为我们经常会拿捏不准自己的情绪和内心世界。那些词语是否真的是我们的真实感受?是否和我...
