The Hidden Genius of Emotion

This book is about emotion and personality focusing on how emotion powerfully influences moment-to-moment thoughts behaviors and interpersonal interactions. Though emotion is continually present it is seldom in consciousness and thus affects lives in a covert manner. This hidden influence is revealed through the example of the lives of three famous mid-century psychologists: Carl Rogers Albert Ellis and Fritz Perls. Carol Magai and Jeanette Haviland-Jones show how each person has his or her own unique emotional organization that exerts a distinct and unique bias on what we see feel and think.
