(From cover) ... insights into human feelings and their relation to physical and spiritual health.

Have you ever heard that some people have a good attitude, while other people have a poor attitude? Well, our attitudes stream from our emotions. Our attitudes are formed by how we feel and by how we choose to look at a situation. Problems will always be with us in this life and it is how we choose to deal with them that will ultimately determine what we will do about the situation. This book is the first book in a series that deals with our emotions. It gives examples of how others dealt with their emotions and the situations that arose from their actions.

Written by two world-leading academics in the field of attitudes research, is a brand new textbook that gets to the very heart of this fascinating and far-reaching field. Greg Maio and Geoffrey Haddock describe how scientific methods have been used to better understand attitudes and how they change. With the aid of a few helpful metaphors, the text provides readers with a grasp of the fundamental concepts for understanding attitudes and an appreciation of the scientific challenges that lay ahead.
