| book description |

Volume 2 of this two-volume handbook extends the foundational understanding of emotional well-being through the lens of positive psychology into the realms of cultural diversity, societal impacts, and the influence of technology. This volume offers an in-depth examination of the societal impact of emotions, cultural interpretations, and the emerging significance of digital and robotic interactions with emotions. It encompasses a wide range of topics, including the effects of global crises on emotional well-being, the role of art and literature in understanding emotions, and the future of emotional intelligence in the age of digital technology. Studies featured in this Volume 2 provide insight into emotional experiences across diverse cultures, the resilience of immigrants and refugees, and the psychological dynamics of collective behaviour, alongside considerations of how technology is reshaping our emotional lives. The volume stands as a critical academic resource, enriching the discourse on the global and transcultural dimensions of emotional well-being. It highlights the pivotal role of cultural and technological considerations in advancing our understanding of emotions and sets a new benchmark for research and practice in the field. Aimed at scholars, researchers, and practitioners in psychology, cultural studies, and technological innovation, this volume also addresses educators, policymakers, and anyone with a keen interest in understanding the complex interplay between emotion, culture, and technology. By bridging gaps between disciplines, this volume fosters a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of emotional well-being across different cultural contexts and technological environments. It prompts interdisciplinary dialogue, offering evidence-based insights for mental health practices, educational strategies, and policymaking.    Emotion science has progressed enormously in the last decade. For those wishing to get insight into the depth and breadth of this progress, this is a terrific, edited 2 volume overview, brought together by two internationally recognised emotion researchers. It takes a biopsychosocial approach exploring the multiple dimensions of emotion science and how it can be applied to many different aspects of human life from therapy through to the organisation of communities. It will be a must have book for anyone interested in understanding the complexities of emotions.                                                                                                                                                                                                    Prof Paul Gilbert.
