Get hangry? Relive embarrassing memories? Find canned laughter so annoying - and fake news so effective?  Emotions can be a pain. If only we were more rational, life would be a lot easier, wouldn't it?  Dean Burnett certainly used to think so. And then, in April 2020, his father died of Covid-19. Suddenly, Dean was confronted with a host of powerful, unfamiliar and often unwelcome emotions. And so, he decided to put his feelings under the microscope - for science.  In Emotional Ignorance, Dean takes us on his incredible journey of discovery. Along the way he reveals:  - why we would ever follow our gut; - whether things really were better in the old days; - why it's so hard to stop doomscrolling; - whether women really are more emotional than men (spoiler: no).  Combining expert analysis with powerful insights into the grieving process, the end result is a fascinating and endlessly entertaining account of the science underlying our emotional lives.","brand":"Book Grocer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44471137992923,"sku":"9781783351732","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/products\/9781783351732.jpg?v=1700893063","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/9781783351732-emotional-ignorance-lost-and-found-in-the-science-of-emotion","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
