The result is a rich tapestry that conveys something profound: a more complete picture of what it means to feel. This book not only expanded my knowledge of emotion research. It changed how I teach affective neuroscience, but also, my awareness of those around me, particularly those with whom I share an emotional bond. -- Dr. Nathan Spreng, Asst.
