Practising psychiatry, psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis for over forty years and being an avid
reader of books pertaining to the human mind convinced Salman Akhtar that most good books in
this realm are difficult to read for laypersons. Matters are made worse by the fact that books that are
readable succumb to oversimplification and glib advice giving. As a result, the seeker of knowledge
about the intricacies of emotional life finds little that is meaningful to read. It is this lack that The Book
of Emotions is trying to address here. Written in a simple, easy to understand style with everyday examples
and anecdotes, the book explains the meaning and characteristics of some of our inherent emotions.
