Product description

Review

Review from previous edition a pop science classic (John Walsh, Independent on Sunday)

Evans provides a charming crash course on human sentiments (The Times,)

a fun little book . . .Highly accessible, this little gem deserves to sell well . . . student friendly . . . excellent introductory book (Simon Baron-Cohen, Nature)

readable and thought provoking account (Susan Aldridge, Focus)

Evans roams enjoyably through the firelds of psychology, psychotherapy, robotics, drugs and old-fashioned romance, like Alian de Botton in a labcoat (The Guardian (Review))

This book is a charming primer on the up-and-coming science of emotions. (James Kingsland New Scientist)

An admirably clear, intelligent and witty introduction (Steven Poole, Guardian)

a wealth of good sense backed by evidence (Marek Kohn, Evening Standard)

a witty little book (Iain Finlayson, The Times)

At last, an accessible and fascinating account of a neglected aspect of our mental lives. (Lewis Wolpert, author of "Malignant Sadness")
