Features: Everyone possesses six basic emotions: happiness, sadness, anger, fear, anxiety, and depression. This book introduces the exploration and research findings of scientists on emotions, answering a series of interesting questions: How do humans generate emotions, and how do they experience and express them? Do emotions originate from our internal organs and are controlled by them, or are they products of evolution, regulated by reason? The book focuses on introducing some lesser-known phenomena discovered by anthropologists, including unspoken sadness, the sense of fulfillment that accompanies trust, the subtlety hidden between the lines of literature, happiness that may not always be a good thing, and the anger goddess that symbolizes humility.
