Samenvatting:

Passion and Reason draws on four decades of research to bring readers the first book to move beyond both clinical jargon and 'feel-good' popular psychology to explain how emotions are aroused, how they are managed, and how they critically shape views of ourselves and the world around us.



In Passion and Reason, Lazarus draws on his four decades of pioneering research to bring readers the first book to move beyond both clinical jargon and `feel-good' popular psychology. In plain, accessible language, Lazarus explains how emotions are aroused, how they are managed, and how they critically shape our views of ourselves and the world around us. Dr Lazarus explores the latest findings on the short and long-term causes and effects of various emotions, including the often conflicting research on stress management and links between negative emotions and heart disease, cancer, and other aspects of physical and psychological health.
