Book SynopsisThis book introduces a comprehensive and integrative collection of psychological intergroup interventions. These evidence-based interventions are scientifically established and tested in several real-world contexts of intergroup animosities and tensions, from prejudice and inequality reduction to peace promotion. Intergroup hostility, violence, and discrimination have become more and more prevalent in recent decades. To address this challenge, recently, social scientists have shown an increasing shift from a descriptive to a more interventionist science, developing evidence-based interventions to improve intergroup relations. For the first time, this book includes research on intergroup interventions and their applications to the field, from a global collection of leading voices in the discipline. It also includes a conceptualization of intergroup interventions, a typology of different types of interventions, as well as a guideline for effective development of intergroTable of ContentsList of ContributorsPrefacePart 1: Psychological Intergroup InterventionsChapter 1: Reducing Prejudice through Intergroup Contact InterventionsRebecca Littman, Alexandra Scacco, and Chagai WeissChapter 2: Redrawing the boundaries: Creating positive intergroup relations interventions through shared values, memberships, and identitiesDanielle Blaylock, Rhiannon N.

Book SynopsisHow many words do we use in a day? How many of them are actually necessary to convey the flow of our thoughts? And how many could we do without, if we were to fast, abstain from using words? This book examines the power of words. It explores the links between communication, language and identity, arguing for a certain gravity to the practice of speech, for offering only meaningful words to the people we talk to.We are the words we hear and utter, we are the words we think, and Anna Lisa Tota invites us to use eco-words to change the world we live in: This book is a proposal to myself and to you, dear Reader, an invitation to change together: while you read and while I write, bridging the temporal and spatial gap that separates us and makes it impossible for us to help each other.This volume will appeal to readers interested in the everyday practice of communication. It will also be useful to scholars and students of sociology, emotion, memory, body studies, philosophy,Trade Review"Anna Lisa Tota's volume, Eco-Words: The Ecology of Conversation, offers a perspective, or rather, a multisensory perception that penetrates the different layers of natural, social, and individual reality. It captures the subtle complexity of tacit correspondences, interrelations, and references of meaning. The multiplicity of perspectives and levels of analysis in this volume corresponds to an approach that reveals the permeability of distinctions and the inadequacy of rigid and unidimensional categorizations in the critical understanding of both objective and subjective reality."Ludovica Malknecht, Università Europea di Roma, Italy.

Book SynopsisThis book explores the sociology of hope. It presents an overview of the âstate of the artâ of hope in sociology and proposes a new basic theory of hope linked to the classical theoretical traditions of sociology, to the perspective of its founding women, and to the reconstruction of the contributions of the theories of revolution, utopia, social change and collective action.In an attempt to understand the sociology of hope as a critical theory and a science of life, this book proposes the central elements in theoretical and epistemic terms for establishing connections between ethics, aesthetics, politics of knowledge and their current strong modi-fications in the study of society. As such the book will appeal to scholars and students inter-ested in emotions, particularly from the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, political sci-ence, and psychology.

Book SynopsisAttitudes are evaluations of people, places, things, and ideas. They help us to navigate through a complex world. They provide guidance for decisions about which products to buy, how to travel to work, or where to go on vacation. They color our perceptions of others. Carefully crafted interventions can change attitudes and behavior. Yet attitudes, beliefs, and behavior are often formed and changed in casual social exchanges. The mere perception that other peopleâsay, rich peopleâ favor something may be sufficient to make another person favor it. Peopleâs own actions also influence their attitudes, such that they adjust to be more supportive of the actions. Peopleâs belief systems even change to align with and support their preferences, which at its extreme is a form of denial for which people lack awareness.These two volumes of The Handbook of Attitudes provide authoritative, critical surveys of theory and research about attitudes, beliefs, persuasion, and behavior from key authors in these areas. This second volume covers applications to measurement, behavior prediction, and interventions in the areas of cancer, HIV, substance use, diet, and exercise, as well as in politics, intergroup relations, aggression, migrations, advertising, accounting, education, and the environment.Table of ContentsI.

This groundbreaking volume examines the complex role of the cerebellum in emotional regulation and disorders that are insufficiently understood, subverting the widely held belief that the cerebellum is solely involved in balance and motor functions. Beginning with the evolution of the cerebellum toward a structure dedicated to homeostatic regulation and socio-emotional behavior, the book examines the growing body of evidence supporting the importance of the cerebellum in emotions, cognition, and psychopathology. Going on to discuss the implications of cerebellar abnormalities, Schutter analyzes groundbreaking research and explores how cerebellar abnormalities are associated with disruption in associative learning in anxiety, the pathophysiology of depression and cognitive regulation, the synchronization of information processing in schizophrenia, the aberrant connectivity patterns in autism spectrum disorders, and explosive forms of aggressive behavior.Collating pionee

Book SynopsisEmotions of Menace and Enchantment examines four pivotal human emotions. It explores what defines these emotions, how they interact, and how they impact the experience of self-boundary. All four feelings speak to the boundary around the self, to whether we stiffen that boundary, relax it or worry about its fraying. Psychoanalysis has looked closely at conflicts that human beings experience, but has paid relatively less attention to the specific emotions through which conflict is known and managed. The disgust emotion is unique in operating like a gatekeeper that manages what approaches us closely. Disgust appears prominently in our relationship with the physical world, but surprisingly, is just as common in the world of politics. It moves people to action, including deeds of great violence. Horror occurs when we feel invaded and altered by something that leads to profound insecurity. Human beings behaving inhumanly is one common source of horror.&nbspTrade Review"Susan Beth Miller skillfully portrays emotions as fluid, multifaceted (experiential, physiological, cognitive, conscious, unconscious), sometimes contradictory, and intrinsically relational. Our feelings reflect appraisals of the world and they reconfigure our selves accordingly, prompting us toward receptive engagement or guarded defensiveness. To her research, Miller brings the knowledge and sensitivity of a sophisticated psychoanalytic clinician, supplemented with insights from anthropology, philosophy, psychology, and literature. Her impressive meditation on emotion will stimulate valuable thoughts in readers, intensifying and enriching their interest in, and understanding of, the affective spectra they encounter in themselves, their patients, and others."-Brent Willock, author of Comparative-Integrative Psychoanalysis, is Founding President, Toronto Institute for Contemporary Psychoanalysis.Table of ContentsChapter 1: Entering the World of Emotion; Chapter 2: The Gatekeeper Emotion: Disgust; Chapter 3: The Breakdown Emotion: Horror; Chapter 4: The Imbibing Emotion: Awe; Chapter 5: The Fixed Eye of Fascination; Concluding Comments

Book SynopsisIn this book, Christine Tappolet offers readers a thorough, wide-ranging, and highly accessible introduction to the philosophy of emotions. It covers recent interdisciplinary debates on the nature of emotions as well as standard theories of emotions, such as feeling theories, motivational theories, and evaluative theories. The book includes discussions of the alleged irrationality of emotions, and looks into the question of whether emotions could not, in some cases, contribute positively to theoretical and practical rationality. In addition, the role of emotions in the theory of virtues and the theory of values receives a detailed treatment. Finally, the book turns to the question of how we can regulate and even educate our emotions by engaging with music and with narrative art.The overall picture of emotions that emerges is one that does justice to the central role that emotions play in our lives, conceiving of emotions as crucial to our grasp of values.

Book SynopsisHysteria, one of the most diagnosed conditions in human history, is also one of the most problematic. Can it even be said to exist at all? Since the earliest medical texts people have had something to say about 'feminine complaints'. Over the centuries, theorisations of the root causes have lurched from the physiological to the psychological to the socio-political. Thanks to its dual association with femininity and with fakery, the notion of hysteria inevitably provokes questions about women, men, sex, bodies, minds, culture, happiness and unhappiness.To some, it may seem extraordinary that such a contested diagnosis could continue to merit any mention whatsoever. Surely we all now know better. Nonetheless, after being discarded by the American Psychiatric Association in 1952, it has continued to make its appearance, not least in later editions of the DSM, in the form of 'hysterical neurosis (conversion type)' or craftily rebranded as 'histrionic personality disorder'. In contrast with the old-fashioned cliche of the cantankerous malingerer, Jacques Lacan has associated the hysteric with the scientist and seeker after truth. Hysteria Today is a collection of essays whose purpose is to reopen the case for hysteria and to see what relevance, if any, the term may have within contemporary clinical practice.Contributors include Vincent Dachy, Anouchka Grose, Darian Leader, Genevieve Morel, Leonardo S. Rodriguez, Colette Soler, and Anne Worthington.Trade Review'The hysteric's questions - What do I want? What do others want from me? What is my place in society? - are emerging with a vengeance in our neo-liberal times. Social changes and new technologies are shaping the neurotic symptoms people suffer from. This collection of essays finally gives us important insight into the way malaise of the civilization affects malaise of the individual and vice versa. To understand hysteria today is an important step in figuring out social and political deadlocks in contemporary life. Anyone who is trying to understand why there is so much unhappiness in times that glorify choice, efficiency and satisfaction, should dive into this important book.'- Renata Salecl, Birkbeck College, London, author of The Tyranny of Choice'This is an essential book for anyone interested in the ways we all struggle with language. Every writer in this dazzling, scholarly collection of essays has taught me something new about how hysteria continues to haunt the 21st century. Hysteria, like subjectivity, did not die in the 1890s. Hysteria is dead! Long live hysteria!'- Deborah Levy, author of Swimming Home (shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize)Table of ContentsIntroduction , Hysterics today , Hysteria today , Beyond queer? , Necessity and seduction: a section of hysteria , Fifty shades of literary success: the vampire’s appeal , Hysteria, a hystory , … As if I did not know … (Allurement)

Book SynopsisThe development of self- and emotional regulatory processes helps children to regulate their behavior based on their cultural context and to develop positive social relationships. This handbook brings together heretofore disparate literatures on self- and emotional regulation, brain and physiological processes, mastery motivation, and atypical development to highlight how mastery motivation is related to self-regulation and to clarify the relation between these various processes. Authors from a variety of countries and backgrounds provide an integrated, up-to-date review of the research and the key theoretical models to demonstrate how these processes relate to cultural and individual differences in both typical and atypical development. The renowned editors, all experts in a particular domain of self-regulation, provide section opening chapters that review the literature, provide a perspective that explains the findings, and suggest directions for future research. Although the focus is on quantitative studies, some qualitative findings and research using brain imaging methodologies are included. Outstanding features include: Reviews the development of self and emotional regulation from infancy through adolescence. Contributors from various countries and backgrounds provide an integrative review of the literature to guide the direction of future research. Features contributions from those who have had a strong impact on self-regulation research. Reviews research on developmental disorders that have implications for self-regulation. There are four sections. Section one introduces the development of self- and emotional regulation. This section reviews how self-regulation adapts based on personal and culturally-based goals and how individual differences predispose some to behavior disorders. Socialization influences are examined including a look at when typical regulation processes go awry. Section 2 examines physiological and brain processes as they relate to the development of typical and atypical processes, along with neurocognitive development of performance monitoring and how these processes change over time, cortical activation differences, and behavioral and electrocortical measures of attentional bias. Section 3 reviews the development of self-regulation and mastery motivation including a review of the Dimensions of Mastery Questionnaire (DMQ), cross-national comparisons, and what the DMQ can tell us about self-regulation. The section concludes with a look at the development of self-regulation and mastery motivation in individuals with a developmental disability. Section 4 examines self-regulation in atypical development and evidence-based treatment approaches in children with ADHD, autism, and Down syndrome. This book is intended for researchers, graduate students, and practitioners in psychology, neuroscience, human development, and education interested in the development of self and emotional regulatory processes. Trade Review"Kudos to the editors for securing this collection of outstanding and diverse papers on the topic of development of self-regulation. This book will be required reading for the students in my lab and classroom." - Kristin A. Buss, The Pennsylvania State University, USA"This thoughtful and thought-provoking book on self-regulation by internationally renowned researchers will appeal to scholars and students alike. This book is both unique and compelling in its examination of self-regulation in all children, including those with typical and atypical pathways of development." Penny Hauser-Cram, Boston College, USA"This handbook will be a critical reference for both scientists and students. The singularly impressive cast of leading researchers has bridged neurobiological, cognitive, affective and social perspectives on the development of self-regulation. This will stand as both a comprehensive guide for understanding this vitally important topic and a framework for advancing the next generation of studies on self-regulation."- Paul D. Hastings, University of California, Davis, USA"More and more psychologists ... are talking now as if self-regulation is one of the most important … aspects of human behavior and human development. …People in … various areas ... could profit from having all of this material easily accessible in one place. It is timely!" – Jacqueline Sue Eccles, University of Michigan, USA "Combining into a single volume the…literatures of emotional regulation, brain processes, mastery motivation, and self regulation is a useful endeavor. ... [This book will] advance the field …and …[will be] attractive to a variety of researchers and scholars. …I am impressed by the breadth of viewpoints …the international flavor of the volume ... [and] by the scholarship of the volume." – Kay Jennings, University of Pittsburgh, USA“This volume is the most through treatment to date of the all-important concept of emotion and self-regulation. It is unique in bridging the theoretical with the empirical, the normal with the idiopathic, the developmental and the adult literatures, and the neurophysiological with the behavioral aspects of self-regulation. The contributors represent the best authorities in this field, and they provide a breadth of coverage that is simply stunning. The volume is a rarity" a superior reference resource, and a rich guide for future research in the field.” - Joseph J.

Book SynopsisThis is a book about cognition, emotion, memory, and learning. Along the way it examines exactly how implicit memory ("knowing how") and explicit memory ("knowing that") are connected with each other via the cerebellum. Since emotion is also related to memory, and most likely, one of its organising features, many fields of human endeavour have attempted to clarify its fundamental nature, including its relationship to metaphor, problem-solving, learning, and many other variables. This is an attempt to pull together the various strands relating to emotions, so that clinicians and researchers alike can identify precisely, and ultimately agree, upon what emotion is and how it contributes to the other known activities of mind and brain.Trade ReviewIt is hoped this book will help our understanding of emotion psychoanalytically, if we patiently delineate the complex picture of the human experience of emotion and integrate this with the efforts of brain scientists and psychoanalysts to understand how the mind-view of emotion and the brain-view of emotion connect. In the belief that the cerebellum plays a decisive role in emotion, this book tries to convey this newest part of the story of emotion and the cerebellum with the utmost clarity and accuracy.'More than a backup system for brain programs, the cerebellum creates shadow models of other parts of the brain, opening possibilities of its managing the interweaving of explicit and implicit memory, parsing the domains and structures of Freud's topographic and structural systems, and deciding to bring limbic emotion towards action meaning. An introductory critique of the neuropsychoanalytic movement thus far progresses in the patient and stately exposition of a master bridge builder.'- David V. Forrest, MD, Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons'As one of the pioneers of neuro-psychoanalysis, Fred Levin shows the immense importance of this new perspective in elucidating the special integrative role of the cerebellum. In its enterprise, neuroscience has mainly focused on higher cortical functions. It is time to correct the 150-year bias, and Levin does it splendidly, taking into account cognition, emotion, memory, learning and action in relation to the "psychodynamics of the cerebellum." He also encourages his readers to proceed in the exploration of knowledge, anticipating surprises in further research.'- Professor Juhani Ihanus, PhD'By focusing upon the cerebellum, Levin has connected psychoanalytic perspectives, such as the Freudian unconscious, and neuroscientific perspectives on conscious and non-conscious neural networking. Attention is given to both explicit and implicit memory systems, and the need for their integration as well. And credit is properly given to Ito Masao for his brilliant appreciation and elaborations of how the cerebellum becomes for each of us a decisive part of our emotions, our adaptive learning, and our very self.'- Professor Hans-Dieter Klein, Austrian Academy of Sciences'Levin's careful consideration of the cerebellum offers a new insight in correlating and comprehending mind and brain and its perplexing byproduct-emotion.' - Shawn Lee, Resources'The specialist who is willing to take the time and effort to unpack Levin's complex neuro-psychoanalytic thinking will be rewarded by his bold and creative work. His view of the cerebellum and emotion, if supported by further evidence, ought to have an important impact on the field.'- Charles P. Fisher, International Journal of PsychoanalysisContents 1.

Enjoy the ride!' Giovanni Emanuele Corazza, University of Bologna, Italy'Like all good handbooks, The Cambridge Handbook of Creativity and Emotions pulls together world-class researchers who are at the cutting edge of a field of study (creativity and emotion) that is lacking a high-level summary of what the field is about and why it is important. This book fills that void.' Gregory J. Feist, San Jose State University, USA'A delightful read for anyone interested in uncovering a different and often overlooked side of creativity - its deep connection to emotion and to human ways of experiencing the world. Comprehensive in its coverage and accessible in its approach, this handbook is set to become an essential resource for creativity and emotion researchers alike.' Vlad P. Glaveanu, Webster University Geneva, Switzerland and University of Bergen, Norway'Emotions offer an essential key to unlock the mysteries of creativity. This handbook provides an up-to-date view, examining person-centered, process-centered, developmental, and methodological issues in a wide range of contexts. For a 360-degree vantage point on the emotion-creativity connection, this Handbook is a must see.' Todd Lubart, Professor of Psychology, Université Paris Cité, France and President of ISSCI, International Society for the Study of Creativity and Innovation'The conventional wisdom is that the important topic of affect and creativity is understudied. This Handbook provides convincing evidence the conventional wisdom as it involves emotion and creativity is not only wrong, but wildly so. Both basic and applied creativity research involving emotion is thriving, and the handbook's impressive mix of scholars and practitioners from around the world provide insights about studying emotions and creativity, how emotions influence the creativity process across several domains, and how emotions interact with other affective constructs to influence and be influenced by creativity, among many other topics. Anyone studying emotions and creativity or applying this research to practice should keep this handbook within easy reach.' Jonathan A. Plucker, Julian C. Stanley Professor of Talent Development, John Hopkins University, USA'For decades, investigators have explored the connection between emotional experience and creativity. How do our emotions inform the creative process? How do they help us to appreciate others' creativity? In the first and only handbook of its kind, Ivcevic, Hoffman, and Kaufman have collected together well-rendered essays addressing these and other questions from fields as diverse as affective neuroscience, child development, and personality psychology. An excellent resource!'

Book SynopsisMoney is a promise with future benefits or dangers that are unknowable and incalculable. The financial sector is an attempt to beat uncertainty by speculating on whether prices will rise or fall. No matter how often the folly of this opportunism is shown through crisis after crisis of trust, efforts to defeat uncertainty persist. Yet uncertainty is unavoidable. Squeezed in one place, it emerges in another. Based on extensive interviews with leading actors in the financial sector, this book argues that the only way to cope with uncertainty is by relying on emotions and values. It presents an original explanation of how booms and busts arise from internal disputes over the emotions of trust between global financial corporations. Confidence and suspicion alternate between which strategy may beat competitors and who is cheating whom. Just as the first edition warned of continuing dangers in finance's betrayal of society's trust, this new edition provides a sociological explanation of how tTrade Review'In the path-breaking first edition of Emotions [in] Finance, Jocelyn Pixley presciently argued three years before the crises broke in 2007 that the capitalist financial system is fragile and vulnerable. In contrast to the mistaken certainties of academic 'finance theory', she argued that the value of assets and contracts is not amenable to precise calculation - as the unresolved financial crises have once again made all too clear. In this revised edition, her fully vindicated thesis is vigorously and eloquently reasserted. The ineradicable uncertainty of the financial world can at best only be managed with the construction of impersonal trust … Acute and probing interviews with bankers, traders, journalists and other participants in the financial system provide a unique insight into this ongoing quest for trust and how - when this fails - the inevitable consequential crises are faced and interpreted.' Geoffrey Ingham, University of Cambridge'Dr Pixley's fine book of [2005] certainly justifies the publication of this new, up-to-date edition because her original argument is further vindicated by the current troubles. She combines a deep critical analytical mind with extensive case studies and interviews to provide a unique, sustained narrative of the causes of the malfunctions in global financial markets when abuse of trust, over-fervent and unreal desires for quick and impossible-to-sustain returns dominate their workings. The author couples insights gained from the writings of pioneering sociologists, old and new, especially those of Max Weber and onwards, with the writings of the modern world's greatest monetary theorists, including Maynard Keynes.' G. C. Harcourt, University of New South Wales'For more than a century economists have ignored the role that emotions play in the economy … this has begun to change - and Pixley's well-known book, now in an expanded and reworked 2nd edition, is part of this important turnaround. Through her empirical data, in combination with a sharp theoretical argument, Jocelyn Pixley has provided us with the best account so far of the crucial role that emotions play in finance, including the current financial crisis.'

Book SynopsisMore than 30 years after its initial publication, this new edition of The Cognitive Structure of Emotions refines and updates Ortony, Clore, and Collins''s OCC model of emotions. Starting from a three-way classification of construals of the world??events, the attribution of responsibility for events, and objects??the authors propose a systematic account of emotion differentiation. Rejecting the oft-favored features of bodily feelings, emotion-related behaviors, and facial expressions as too intensity-dependent and insufficiently diagnostic, they provide a detailed analysis of emotion differentiation in terms of the cognitive underpinnings of emotion types. Using numerous examples, they explain how different variables influence emotion intensity, and show how emotions can be formalized for computational purposes. Now with a contributed chapter describing the OCC model''s influence, this book will interest a wide audience in cognitive, clinical, and social psychology, as well as in artificial intelligence and affective computing, and other cognitive science disciplines.Trade Review'For decades, the original 'OCC model' has inspired and provided 'meat for thought' to many computer scientists struggling to choose among, reconcile and operationalize different emotion theories. I warmly welcome this 'evolved OCC framework', echoing and integrating key recent advances and shifts of perspective from different disciplines. It will surely continue to inspire generations of 'computational emotion modelers'.' Lola Cañamero, Professor and INEX Chair of Neuroscience and Robotics, CY Cergy Paris University, France'In this new edition of The Cognitive Structure of Emotions, Ortony, Clore and Collins (OCC) offer the best-articulated and most deeply analytical cognitive account of the emotions. In steering clear of the usual detours to physiology and neurolocalization, they forthrightly center emotion in the experience of the emoter. The welcome postscript by Gratch and Marsella shows how readily the structural features of OCC's account lend themselves to the computational modeling of emotion. The writing is clear, the arguments are cogent, and the book stands as an indispensable resource for anyone doing affective science.' Alan J. Fridlund, Associate Professor, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA'The first edition of The Cognitive Structure of Emotions was a major breakthrough. This new edition has integrated major advances in emotion theory and affective computing. There is no doubt it will continue to serve as strong basis of theoretical works and of computational models of emotion.' Catherine Pelachaud, Director of Research, CNRS-ISIR, Sorbonne University, France'Since its first appearance in 1988, The Cognitive Structure of Emotions by Ortony, Clore and Collins has become a classic of emotion psychology. At the time, the model of emotions proposed by the authors was the most encompassing and systematic appraisal theory of emotion psychology. Nearly 35 years later, the updated version of the 'OCC model' of emotions described in the second edition reasserts the theory's claim to this position. The book is rounded off by an instructive chapter written by Gratch and Marsella on the impact the OCC theory has had on the computational modeling of emotions. Like OCC1, OCC2 is required reading for students of emotion from all disciplines.' Rainer Reisenzein, Institute of Psychology, University of Greifswald, Germany'A brilliant revision to a brilliant book. A must read for anyone interested in the cognitive underpinnings of emotion – which should be everyone.' Timothy D. Wilson, Sherrell J. Aston Professor of Psychology, University of Virginia, USA'This book is a further leap forward away from essentialist theories of emotions, which tend to be detached from thinking and experience, towards a more humanistic approach. To read of emotions based on thoughts such as 'It is so good that it happened' is like a breath of fresh air.' Anna Wierzbicka, author of Emotions across Languages and Cultures, AustraliaTable of ContentsPreface to second edition; Preface to first edition; 1. Introduction; 2. Overview of the theory; 3.

Book SynopsisNearly one million people take their own lives each year world-wide - however, contrary to popular belief, suicide can be prevented. While suicide is commonly thought to be an understandable reaction to severe stress, it is actually an abnormal reaction to regular situations. Something more than unbearable stress is needed to explain suicide, and neuroscience shows what this is, how it is caused and how it can be treated. Professor Kees van Heeringen describes findings from neuroscientific research on suicide, using various approaches from population genetics to brain imaging. Compelling evidence is reviewed that shows how and why genetic characteristics or early traumatic experiences may lead to a specific predisposition that makes people vulnerable to triggering life events. Neuroscientific studies are yielding results that provide insight into how the risk of suicide may develop; ultimately demonstrating how suicide can be prevented.Trade Review'… van Heeringen has made the neuroscience of suicide accessible, understandable, non-intimidating, reader-friendly, and actually rather interesting …' Alan L. Berman, The Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide PreventionTable of Contents1. What is suicidal behavior, and can it be prevented?; 2. Stress, vulnerability, and suicide: the stress-diathesis model; 3. The dark side of the brain: neuroscience approaches to suicidal behavior; 4.

Book Synopsis“This book will challenge you to rethink your vision of a good life. With sharp insights and lucid prose, Paul Bloom makes a captivating case that pain and suffering are essential to happiness. It’s an exhilarating antidote to toxic positivity.” —Adam Grant, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Think Again and host of the TED podcast WorkLifeOne of Behavioral Scientist''s Notable Books of 2021From the author of Against Empathy, a different kind of happiness book, one that shows us how suffering is an essential source of both pleasure and meaning in our livesWhy do we so often seek out physical pain and emotional turmoil? We go to movies that make us cry, or scream, or gag. We poke at sores, eat spicy foods, immerse ourselves in hot baths, run marathons. Some of us even seek out pain and humiliation in sexual role-play. Where do these seemingly perverse appetites come from?Drawing on groundbreaking findings from psychology and brain science, The Sweet Spot shows how the right kind of suffering sets the stage for enhanced pleasure. Pain can distract us from our anxieties and help us transcend the self. Choosing to suffer can serve social goals; it can display how tough we are or, conversely, can function as a cry for help. Feelings of fear and sadness are part of the pleasure of immersing ourselves in play and fantasy and can provide certain moral satisfactions. And effort, struggle, and difficulty can, in the right contexts, lead to the joys of mastery and flow.But suffering plays a deeper role as well. We are not natural hedonists—a good life involves more than pleasure. People seek lives of meaning and significance; we aspire to rich relationships and satisfying pursuits, and this requires some amount of struggle, anxiety, and loss. Brilliantly argued, witty, and humane, Paul Bloom shows how a life without chosen suffering would be empty—and worse than that, boring.

Book SynopsisFrom acclaimed psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora comes a groundbreaking understanding of how anxiety manifests in the body and mind—and what we can do to overcome it.Anxiety affects more than forty million Americans—a number that continues to climb in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. While conventional medicine tends to view anxiety as a “neck-up” problem—that is, one of brain chemistry and psychology—the truth is that the origins of anxiety are rooted in the body.In The Anatomy of Anxiety, holistic psychiatrist Dr. Ellen Vora offers nothing less than a paradigm shift in our understanding of anxiety and mental health, suggesting that anxiety is not simply a brain disorder but a whole-body condition. In her clinical work, Dr. Vora has found time and again that the symptoms of anxiety can often be traced to imbalances in the body. The emotional and physical discomfort we experience—sleeplessness, brain fog, stomach pain, jitters—is a result of the body’s stress response. This physiological state can be triggered by challenging experiences as well as seemingly innocuous factors, such as diet and use of technology.The good news is that this body-based anxiety, or, as Dr. Vora terms it, “false anxiety,” is easily treated. Once the body’s needs are addressed, Dr. Vora reframes any remaining symptoms not as a disorder but rather as an urgent plea from within. This “true anxiety” is a signal that something else is out of balance—in our lives, in our relationships, in the world. True anxiety serves as our inner compass, helping us recalibrate when we’re feeling lost.Practical, informative, and deeply hopeful, The Anatomy of Anxiety is the first book to fully explain the origins of anxiety and offer a detailed road map for healing and growth.
