  "Life on this planet, every single living being is leading towards happiness. Happiness for themselves, for their loved ones and for everything around them. But the most interesting thing about happiness is when a member of your family is unhappy. If a family member is unhappy the neighbourhood is unhappy. If the neighbourhood is unhappy, the city, the state, the country is unhappy and the chain goes on. So, how is it possible for an individual to be happy?"
  
  The person saying these simple yet profound observations cut a fragile figure in a crowd filled with a hundred thousand devotees jammed in a stadium. The soothing voice of Sri Sri Ravishankar on International Happiness Day is a balm to the listeners. His face is glowing as he says this and his voice seems to carry the spores of happiness in them. As he disperses these words, the crowd glows. Everyone seems as lit as the diminutive man with long hair and a long beard who speaks with dancing eyes and a smiling mouth.
  
  Meet Sri Sri Ravishankar.

  The History of Emotions - A Very...

  Thomas Dixon

  • 0

  Emotions are complex mental states that resist reduction. They are visceral reactions but also beliefs about the world. They are spontaneous outbursts but also culturally learned performances. And just as our emotions in any given moment display this complex structure, so their history is plural rather than singular. The history of emotions is where the history of ideas meets the history of the body, and where the history of subjectivity meets social and cultural history. 
   
   
   
  In this Very Short Introduction, Thomas Dixon traces the historical ancestries of feelings ranging from sorrow, melancholy, rage, and terror to cheerfulness, enthusiasm, sympathy, and love. The picture that emerges is a complex one, showing how the states we group together today as "the emotions" are the product of long and varied historical changes in language, culture, beliefs, and ways of life. 
   
   
   
  With examples from ancient, medieval, and modern cultures, this Very Short Introduction sheds new light on our emotions in the present, by looking at what historians can tell us about their past. Dixon explains the key ideas of historians of emotions as they have developed in conversation with psychology and psychiatry, with attention paid especially to ideas about basic emotions, psychological construction, and affect theory.
