Is your heart fluttering in anticipation? Is your stomach tight with nerves? Are you falling in love? Feeling a bit miffed? Are you curious, perhaps about this book? Do you have the heebie-jeebies? Are you antsy with iktsuarpok? Or giddy with dépaysement? The Book of Human Emotions is a gleeful, thoughtful collection of 156 feelings, both rare and familiar. Each has its own story and reveals the strange forces that shape our rich and varied internal worlds. In reading it, you'll discover feelings you never knew you had, like basorexia, the sudden urge to kiss someone, uncover the secret histories of boredom and confidence, and gain unexpected insights into why we feel the way we do. Published in partnership with the Wellcome Collection, a free museum and library that aims to challenge how we think and feel about health, inspired by medical objects and curios.
