Overview
"This is the most accessible modern book on affective science. All the essentials are covered--emotion theories, fear conditioning, fMRI methods--as well as the most interesting subtopics, from empathy and altruism to social rejection to emotion regulation. This book will be a leading resource for any course on affective science."--Ralph Adolphs, Professor of Psychology, Neuroscience, and Biology, California Institute of Technology, and coauthor of The Neuroscience of Emotion: A New Synthesis
"A rare interdisciplinary synthesis of emotion science, this book seamlessly integrates psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and cross-cultural research into a coherent framework. Rich in landmark studies and contemporary research, it illuminates the emotional mind with exceptional clarity while inspiring readers to think across disciplinary boundaries."--Rachael E. Jack, Professor of Computational Social Cognition, Vanderbilt University, and past president of the Society for Affective Science
"Emotions are both powerful and puzzling. With this book, Yu warmly introduces us to what science can teach us about our emotions, where they come from, and what they're for. Blending evolution, biology, and culture with cutting-edge research, The Science of Emotion is enlightening, useful, and a pleasure to read."--Michael E. McCullough, Distinguished Professor of Psychology, University of California, San Diego, and author of The Kindness of Strangers: How a Selfish Ape Invented a New Moral Code and Beyond Revenge: The Evolution of the Forgiveness Instinct
