The Science of Emotions - A Conversation with Barbara Fredrickson
By Howard Burton
Length1h 25m
About this audiobook
Why do we smile, laugh and actively seek out personal connections with the people around us? Why does it feel good and what evolutionary purposes do our so-called “positive emotions” serve? This book is based on an in-depth filmed conversation between Howard Burton and Barbara Fredrickson, Director Positive Emotions & Psychology Laboratory at UNC Chapel Hill. Topics covered by this extensive conversation include Barbara’s work on the science of positive emotions, including her broaden-and-build theory, the undoing effect and upward spirals, while highlighting relevant evolutionary-driven hypotheses together with measurement details of empirical studies.
This carefully-edited book includes an introduction, Only Connect, and questions for discussion at the end of each chapter:
I. Psychological Beginnings - Towards social psychology
Emotions, Scientifically - From endings to moments of intensity
Positive vs. Negative Emotions - Evolutionary conundrums
Positive Psychology Emerges - Examining human flourishing
Broaden and Build - A thesis emerges
Emotional Measurement - Searching for objective criteria
The Undoing Effect - A side benefit of positive emotions
Taking Charge - Cultivating positive emotional states
Responses - The perks and perils of relevance
