Emotional ignorance : lost and found in the science of emotion

Burnett, Dean2023
Book
Why do we have nightmares? Get hangry? Relive embarrassing memories? Find canned laughter so annoying - and fake news so effective? Emotions can be a pain. If only we were more rational, life would be a lot easier, wouldn't it? Dean Burnett certainly used to think so. And then, in April 2020, his father died of Covid-19. Suddenly, Dean was confronted with a host of powerful, unfamiliar and often unwelcome emotions. And so, he decided to put his feelings under the microscope - for science. In Emotional Ignorance, Dean takes us on his incredible journey of discovery.
