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?

评分 评分林亦霖 记得在学习英语前,老师曾谈到字典的重要性。那厚重的词典读起来颇为艰难。往往是落了灰,也未翻过几页;然而,《心情词典》却饶有趣味。 这本属于心情的词典从设计到内容都颇为诱人,浅蓝色的封皮看起来很好看,纸张翻阅的时候很有质感,让人惊喜的是里面有非常多的插...
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...
