Mérő László - Az érzelmek logikája (2022)

"The heart has reasons of its own, unknown to reason," wrote Blaise Pascal some four hundred years ago. However, thanks to modern psychological research, a surprising discovery was made: emotions are also present in logical thinking, and in fact, it is precisely rational thinking that suffers from their absence. And this applies not only to positive emotions: a bad mood or sudden anger can improve the quality of our thinking and even help us make business decisions.
László Mérő's new book is about a new view of emotions. We can learn about the structure of emotions, find out what the role of emotions is in thinking and the economy, what are the advantages of being in a bad mood, what emotional intelligence really means, and finally we can take a walk in the zoo of emotions.
