The story of our emotions is regularly told through the scientific literature. But it is a story that should be told through casual conversations and accessible reading. The Science of Feelings bridges the gap between the scientific literature with the casual readership, re-telling the story of our emotions in a lively, thought-provoking that stays true to scholarly research. The book invites you to contemplate, ponder, and be curious about the essence of what makes us truly human. Check out Eugene Tee's latest book on emotions - a psychological tale of our feelings told through the eyes of philosophers, biologists, neuroscientists, sociologists, and economists.
