How Emotions Work

This work develops methods for unravelling the mysteries of emotions and aims to answer fundamental questions at the heart of emotional life. By using videotapes, interviews and ethnographic description, the author studies emotions as physical and embodied rather than as remembered and recounted.

Description

Many of the ways in which we express and react to emotions make very little sense. From the tears that mark both the best and worst moments in our lives to the rages sparked by the most trivial of traffic annoyances, emotions surprise us—they lead us to act in ways contrary to our better judgement, and they always seem to lie just beyond our control.

In How Emotions Work, Jack Katz observes situations ranging from a criminal's interrogation-room breakdown to a child's temper tantrum, and offers new approaches to understanding our emotions, their sources, and the behaviour they lead to, all with unprecedented clarity.
