The world around us imperceptibly, but inevitably — through the colors and smells, temperature and texture of objects — affects the actions that we seem to deliberately perform, and the assessments that we seemingly impartially distribute.
The world around us imperceptibly, but inevitably — through the colors and smells, temperature and texture of objects — affects the actions that we seem to deliberately perform, and the assessments that we seemingly impartially distribute. In fact, which of us, when making our judgment about a new acquaintance, takes into account the fact that under the influence of cold temperature we are more inclined to consider a person cold? Who knows that the softness of the chair we sit on can affect our negotiating style? And about the fact that a lit lamp will literally help you “shed light on the problem”? Talma Lobel, an Israeli psychologist and professor at the Faculty of Psychology at Tel Aviv University, brings together in this book modern research that proves the striking relationship between physical sensations, actions, emotions, and abstract judgments. By the way, will you read this book over a cup of hot tea or pour yourself a cold lemonade? Please note that experiences may vary!
