Ethan Kross: 我在书中探讨了人们普遍难以管理情绪的现象，这并非个例，而是自人类存在以来就普遍存在的挑战。本书旨在解释情绪的本质、成因以及如何更好地管理情绪。情绪管理没有放之四海而皆准的解决方案，需要因人而异，如同身体锻炼一样，方法多样，适合自己的才是最好的。利用感官（如音乐、气味）可以快速有效地调整情绪。思考和感受是相互交织的，改变思维方式可以改变感受，反之亦然。情绪管理的关键在于使想法、感受和行为与目标一致。所有情绪，即使是负面情绪，在适当的程度上都是有益的。体验负面情绪是正常的，关键在于控制其强度和持续时间。并非所有情绪都应该积极，负面情绪在适当的比例下是有益的。情绪管理并非总是困难的，存在许多简单易行的技巧，例如心理时间旅行（回顾过去或展望未来）等。不必总是活在当下，可以通过'心理时间旅行'来调整情绪。公众对科学信息的兴趣日益增长，科学家需要提升沟通能力。 Daniel: (问题和回应，例如关于负面情绪的困扰，以及如何运用书中提到的方法进行情绪调节)
