Tiffany Watt Smith

Una enciclopedia universal sobre los sentimientos de toda la humanidad (que te ayudará a entender los tuyos). Tiffany Watt Smith atraviesa historia, antropología, ciencia, arte, literatura y música en busca de las expresiones con las que culturas de todo el mundo han aprendido a definir sus propias emociones. Y al mismo tiempo nos revela que complejas y sorprendentes son aquellas que creiamos conocer bien. Todos somos capaces de reconocer la diferencia entre rabia y miedo, entre deseo y envidia. Sabemos tambien que es mejor no confundir el afecto con el amor. El arrepentimiento con el remordimiento. La euforia con la felicidad. Pero hemos experimentado cosas a las cuales a menudo no hemos sabido dar un nombre. Este es el mapa para orientarnos en nuestras emociones. Y para saber como nos sentimos y entender lo que siente el otro.
