Description

Understanding emotions can be a complex task, as they are shaped by our relationships and social contexts. In "Between Us", psychologist Batja Mesquita explores how emotions vary across cultures and how this understanding can help us find common ground with others.

By examining the nuances of emotions in different settings, such as at work, school, or home, Mesquita reveals that acknowledging these differences is key to a deeper understanding of ourselves and those around us. This insightful book skillfully synthesizes original psychological studies and stories from diverse backgrounds to show how recognizing emotional variations can lead to greater empathy and self-awareness.
