Description

Book Synopsis
Princess Diana's death was a tragedy that provoked mourning across the globe. How can we account for this uneven distribution of emotion? Can it simply be explained by the prevailing scientific understanding? Addressing such questions, this title offers a counterpoint to the way we generally understand emotions.

Trade Review
"With The Secret History of Emotion, Daniel Gross has achieved what I thought impossible: he compresses into these pages a compelling history of emotion from Aristotle to today. His argument that there exists a great tradition of understanding the emotions as a psychosocial phenomenon is cogent, coherent, and interesting from beginning to end. This is a remarkable book." - David Konstan, Brown University"
