Ursulas Le Gvinas (Ursula K. Le Guin) vārdi: “Mīlestība nav kā akmens, kas vienkārši tup; tā ir kā maize, ko gatavojam; katru reizi no jauna, atkal un atkal.”

[Carol]

Excellent book. Well worth reading.

[Juan Arroyave]

Absolutely essential if you want to know the new paradigms in the emotions research.

[Ogi Ogas]

My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.

Looking for background to validate my theory on emotional economics...

[Corey Butler]

An excellent contemporary reference on the psychology of emotions, with sections on neurology, development, social psychology, personality, cognition, and health.
