You have probably noticed that a cup of hot tea helps to calm down when everything is going wrong, and thoughts of a warm, cozy home lift your spirits on a cold day.
How exactly does tangible warmth affect our emotions?
Along with breathing, regulating body temperature is a vital task for any animal.
Like penguins, who huddle together to survive harsh winters and protect their offspring, we, humans, lean towards each other, trying not to lose precious warmth. For millennia, this instinct has been part of the evolutionary process and has shaped our culture.
Warmth and cold awaken unexpected emotions in us. Understanding that we subconsciously strive to maintain an optimal body temperature can help in personal life, at work, and even in the world of social networks. By studying the influence of temperature on human sociability, Hans Eizerman finds answers to unusual questions.
How does climate change affect society?
Why do some people always feel cold, while others are always hot?
Does thermoregulation help maintain close relationships, even at a distance?
'Warm Heart' offers readers a look at the surrounding world and human emotions through the prism of warmth and cold.
