Deciphered Emotions

Emotions! No one is free from them, and no one would want to be free of them. As an example in the chapter on anger points out, to be severed from emotion is a tragic loss of a system that’s taken millions of years to evolve behaviour.

Deciphered Emotions is a comprehensive description of the core emotions that govern humanity. State of the art evidence-based knowledge is presented in a down to earth manner.

Distilled from thousands of hours of research, the article-length descriptions of individual emotions are drawn from current knowledge in the affective realm - everything to do with emotion. The chapters are underpinned by Charles Darwin’s evolutionary perspective of emotion and updated with contemporary knowledge of neurobiology, psychology and psychotherapy.
