How We Feel by Giovanni Frazzetto

How We Feel by Giovanni Frazzetto

What can a brain scan, or our reaction to a Caravaggio painting, reveal about the deep seat of guilt? How can reading Heidegger, or conducting experiments on rats, help us to cope with anxiety in the face of the world's economic crisis? This title takes us on a journey through our everyday lives and most common emotions.

Engaging.. very refreshing. His analogies and images when explaining the science are often illuminating and sometimes inspired -- Henry Marsh * The Times *
Intriguing... eye-opening. Frazzetto explains with admirable clarity -- James McConnachie * The Sunday Times *
Takes us on a journey through anger, anxiety, grief, joy, love - and underlines just how far science can now go in its explanations before we have to call in the poets and the philosophers -- Lisa Appignanesi * Observer *

Giovanni Frazzetto was born and grew up in the south east of Sicily. In 1995, after high school, he moved to the UK to study science at University College London and in 2002 he received a PhD from the European Molecular Biology Laboratory in Heidelberg, Germany. Since he was a student, he has worked and written on the relationship between science, society and culture, publishing in journals such as Nature.

He now lives and works between London and Berlin.
