Summary
Alphonso Lingis is an original among American philosophers. An eloquent and insightful commentator on continental philosophers, he is also a phenomenologist who has gone to live in many lands. Dangerous Emotionscontinues the line of inquiry begun inAbuses, taking the reader to Easter Island, Japan, Java, and Brazil as Lingis poses a new range of questions and brings his extraordinary descriptive skills to bear on innocence and the love of crime, the relationships of beauty with lust and of joy with violence and violation. He explores the religion of animals, the force in blessings and in curses. When the sphere of work and reason breaks down, and in catastrophic events we catch sight of cosmic time, our anxiety is mixed with exhilaration and ecstasy. More than acceptance of death, can philosophy understand joy in dying? Haunting and courageous, Lingis's writing has generated intense interest and debate among gender and cultural theorists as well as philosophers, andDangerous Emotionsis certain to introduce his work to an ever broader circle of readers.

Summary
Chapter 1: Keep a sense of perspective We catastrophise: if something goes slightly wrong, we assume everything's gone terribly wrong. We project disasters in our future. Try to keep perspective and recall previous occasions when you catastrophised, remembering that a catastrophe didn't follow. Ask yourself how you will feel about it one day, one month or one year from now. Chapter 2: Empathy Consider why colleagues are behaving in a way that annoys you. Try stepping into their shoes and seeing things from their perspective. Beliefs, not events cause distress - figure out which beliefs are making you upset. Recall when you have behaved badly and remember your reasons. Chapter 3: The worst-case scenario Instead of 'looking on the bright side', it can be useful to ask 'what's the worst that could happen'. In considering the worst outcomes, you realise that you could cope with most of them. Chapter 4: Mind-reading If you think people have negative views of you it's easy to find "evidence" of that. Don't let a lack of confidence lead you to read things the wrong way. Ask for feedback regularly.

Summary
Corporate culture has long stated when you go to work, "leave emotions at home". Quoting research by Barbara Fredrickson's Broaden and Build theory, Kylie Bell explains to Eve Ash that this precept is changing: when leaders really tune into the use of emotions, each can be used to overcome conflict and drive inspiration, engagement and higher performance in the workplace. Negative emotions narrow our focus, whereas positive emotions broaden people to a wider sense of possibilities. We become far better thinkers and problem-solvers, says Kylie, when we use the full range of our emotions, especially positive emotions. We also become calmer. These emotions enhance customer experience.

Summary
"Day-to-day life is a sequence of emotional states: hope, disappointment, irritation, anger, affection, envy, pride, embarrassment, joy, sadness, and many more. We know intuitively that these states express deep things about our character and our view of the world. But what are emotions, and why are they so important to us? In one of the most extensive investigations of the emotions ever published, Robert C. Roberts develops a novel conception of what emotions are and then applies it to a large range of types of emotion and related phenomena. In so doing, he lays the foundations for a deeper understanding of our evaluative judgments, our actions, our personal relationships, and our fundamental well-being. Aimed principally at philosophers and psychologists, this book will certainly be accessible to readers in other disciplines such as religion and anthropology."--Publisher's description.

Summary
The relationship of emotions, ethics, and authenticity constitutes a nexus of philosophical and psychological problems with wide interdisciplinary relevance. What is the proper role of emotions in moral behavior and theory; are emotions reliable guides to our authentic personal values; and finally; what does it mean to be authentic in one's emotions, assuming that there is such thing as emotional authenticity in the first place? The various contributions of this book seek to answer these vexing but rarely discussed questions, offering a broad intellectual tour that ranges from philosophy to ps.

Knee-jerk reactions can have lasting and unintended consequences, affecting our friendships, careers, families, and romantic relationships. You may see overreacting as an unchangeable part of your personality, but in reality this tendency, like any other, can be unlearned.

Summary
Thomas Dixon shows how, during the nineteenth century, the emotions came into being as a distinct psychological category, displacing such concepts as appetites, passions, sentiments and affections. From Passions to Emotions is a significant contribution to that ongoing debate about emotion and rationality which has preoccupied thinkers across many disciplines.

Summary
Emotion drives all cognitive processes, largely determining their qualitative feel, their structure, and in part even their content. Action-initiating centers deep in the emotional brain ground our understanding of the world by enabling us to imagine how we could act relative to it, based on endogenous motivations to engage certain levels of energy and complexity. Thus understanding personality, cognition, consciousness and action requires examining the workings of dynamical systems applied to emotional processes in living organisms. If an object's meaning depends on its action affordances, th.

Summary
All of us want to be happy and live well. Sometimes intense emotions affect our happinessand, in turn, our moral lives. Our emotions can have a significant impact on our perceptions of reality, the choices we make, and the ways in which we interact with others. Can we, as moral agents, have an effect on our emotions? Do we have any choice when it comes to our emotions? In Aquinas on the Emotions, Diana Fritz Cates shows how emotions are composed as embodied mental states. She identifies various factors, including religious beliefs, intuitions, images, and questions that can affect the formati.
