Le emozioni intelligenti. Pratiche di cura dell'io

The Intelligence of Emotions: Practices of Self-Care is a multidisciplinary volume that explores the centrality of emotional intelligence in the formation of human subjectivity, ethical relationships, and transformative educational and therapeutic practices. Drawing from diverse fields such as psychology, pedagogy, philosophy, neuroscience, sports studies, ecopsychology, and the ethics of technology, the book invites a rethinking of emotions not as irrational residues of experience, but as sophisticated and generative dimensions of human life. At the heart of the volume lies a simple yet profound premise: emotions are not mere reactions, but cognitive-affective processes that shape how individuals perceive the world, interact with others, construct meaning, and care for themselves. Emotions emerge from and return to the body, intertwining with language, memory, imagination, and the social and ecological environments in which people live. They form the connective tissue of identity and community and constitute an essential dimension of ethical action and educational formation.
