'In this handbook volume, Joe Forgas gathered the very best psychologists and asked them to talk about the causes and consequences of affect in social life. The conversation is wide-ranging and illuminating. From evolution to neuroscience to decision-making, these chapters force us to think new thoughts, and to rethink some old ones.' - Daniel Gilbert, Department of Psychology, Harvard University, author of Stumbling on Happiness
