A thoughtful, "gleeful "encyclopedia of emotions, both broad and outrageously specific, from throughout history and around the world.

How do you feel today? Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok or filled with nakhes?

Recent research suggests there are only six basic emotions. But if that makes you feel uneasy, suspicious, and maybe even a little bereft, THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS is for you. In this unique book, you'll get to travel across the world and through time, learning how different cultures have articulated the human experience and picking up some fascinating new knowledge about yourself along the way.

From the familiar (anger) to the foreign (zal), each entertaining and informative alphabetical entry reveals the surprising connections and fascinating facts behind our emotional lives. Whether you're in search of the perfect word to sum up that cozy feeling you get from being inside on a cold winter's night, surrounded by friends and good food (what the Dutch call gezelligheid), or wondering how nostalgia evolved from a fatal illness to enjoyable self-indulgence, Tiffany Watt Smith draws on history, anthropology, science, art, literature, music, and popular culture to find the answers.

In reading THE BOOK OF HUMAN EMOTIONS, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had (like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone) and gain unexpected insights into why you feel the way you do. Besides, aren't you curious what nginyiwarrarringu means?

读后感

林亦霖 记得在学习英语前，老师曾谈到字典的重要性。那厚重的词典读起来颇为艰难。往往是落了灰，也未翻过几页；然而，《心情词典》却饶有趣味。 这本属于心情的词典从设计到内容都颇为诱人，浅蓝色的封皮看起来很好看，纸张翻阅的时候很有质感，让人惊喜的是里面有非常多的插...  

于我而言，这本书并不真的具有词典的功能，我是把她当成随笔来看的。 作者涉猎广泛，对很多情绪的描述角度都蛮别致的，从哲学、文学、医学、心理各方面进行情绪的描摹，有些情绪读来会有眼前一亮的感觉，比如无忧无虑、归家之喜、自信。当然，有些情绪的描述就比较简单、平淡、...  

人是情绪的动物。 情绪是什么呢?古希腊名医希波克拉底提出体液说，即人的四种体液组成，血液，黑胆汁，黄胆汁和粘液质，能够塑造性格，影响心情。达尔文在著作中指出，人的情绪不是固化的反应 而是仍在进行的固化的结果。威廉~詹姆士则认为身体反应就是情绪，而后才有主观...

如果用几个词来形容自己，你会说什么？冷静、快乐、焦虑、妒忌、伤感……你看，人们总是下意识地用“情绪”来表达自己。 在日常生活中，你是否经常觉得无聊、整天闷闷不乐？你是否曾经为遭遇一连串的挫折而愁苦烦忧？你是否经常因为自己的坏脾气而觉得喜怒不定，却不知如何是好...  

比较有意思的一个地方 1.语言的魔力 不同的想象力，变成了不同的语言 不同语言，描述了不同的背景环境下人的行为，也会有不同的思想感受 2.英语的成语典故 世界性英语 具备历史 和包容性。曾经富过的国人 不要守着成语 固步自封 3.负面情绪是复杂 我们不要总说 自己不高兴，尝...
