The ABC of Emotions

Entertaining insights into our emotional world

‘Every single feeling changes the whole world’ - this sentence, by Jean-Paul Sartre, aptly describes the importance of feelings and emotions in our lives and for the course of the world. In this book, the authors present around sixty emotions, ranging from fear, jealousy, boredom, envy, shame and sadness to trust and confidence. To do this they create the illusion that each one of these feelings and emotions is an individual person whom they can question. Questions like, ‘Who are you and what are your hidden aspects?’, ‘What are you good for, what is the point of you, what can you be used for?’ And, in addition, ‘What are you afraid of - what causes emotions and feelings to fade or disappear entirely?’
The authors explain the importance of emotions for our health and describe the relationships we have between us to deepen our understanding of the human emotional world.
