Club
Two-Person Book Club: Southern Reach Trilogy. Top Story - August 2023.
One of the biggest impacts I’ve had from the books I’ve loved has been sharing that joy in groups, with friends, in communities, and with my partner. It was her idea to call it Two-Person Book Club and I couldn’t think of a better way to phrase it. Also, we get a kick out of the fact that clubs need more than two people.

The psychology of emotion
The psychology of emotion explores how emotions influence our thoughts, behavior, and overall well-being. Emotions are complex responses to various stimuli, often involving physiological changes, thoughts, and subjective feelings. Our senses, such as sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell, play a crucial role in shaping our emotional experiences and our perception of reality. For example, visual stimuli can trigger emotions through colors, patterns, and facial expressions. Auditory cues like music or voices can evoke strong emotional responses. Touch can convey comfort, affection, or discomfort. Smells and tastes can trigger memories and emotional associations. These sensory inputs can influence how we interpret situations, form judgments, and make decisions. Our emotions also interact with our cognitive processes, affecting attention, memory, and decision-making. Emotions can bias our perception of events, leading to selective attention and memory recall. This, in turn, influences how we construct our understanding of the world around us. In essence, our senses provide the raw data that our brain processes into emotional experiences, which in turn shape our perception of reality. This dynamic interplay between our senses, emotions, and cognition plays a crucial role in determining how we respond to situations, relate to others, and navigate our lives.
