Synopsis

THE WEIGHT OF EMOTIONS
What if many of our decisions weren't based on reason, but on our feelings? Every day we choose, evaluate, purchase, collaborate, trust, distance ourselves, face risks, and take a stand. We tend to think that behind every behavior lies a rational, linear, and conscious explanation. But beneath the surface of our actions lies a deeper dimension, often invisible and difficult to control: that of emotions.Emotions are not simply reactions to what happens. They are filters through which we interpret reality, attribute meaning to experiences, build relationships, and make decisions. They can accelerate a choice, block it, modify it, or lead us in directions we hadn't foreseen. They can become an extraordinary resource or become a limitation when they are not recognized and understood.
THE WEIGHT OF EMOTIONS arises from the need to explore this complexity and restore the central role of emotional experience in understanding human behavior. Francesco Greco develops an interdisciplinary approach in which psychology, psychoeconomics, social sciences, organization, and education interact to construct a broad and concrete perspective on the human being. The result is a reading that transcends the traditional separation between reason and emotion and shows how these two dimensions are continually intertwined in decision-making and behavioral processes. From individual choices to group dynamics, from economic behavior to professional relationships, from leadership to conflict management, from communication to training processes, emotion becomes a true lens for interpreting reality. Understanding fear means understanding why we sometimes avoid what we desire.

Understanding desire means understanding what guides many of our choices.
Understanding trust means delving into the heart of relationships.
Understanding conflict means recognizing what often lies behind words.
Understanding the sense of belonging means interpreting the dynamics that transform a group of individuals into a community, a team, or an organization.
From this perspective, emotion is not the opposite of rationality. It is an integral part of how we think, evaluate, and act.
THE WEIGHT OF EMOTIONS is therefore an interdisciplinary manual, but also an observation tool. A work designed for those who want to gain greater awareness of the mechanisms that govern human behavior and for those who, through their professional roles, interact with people, groups, decisions, and organizational systems every day. It is aimed at professionals, trainers, managers, educators, students, researchers, and anyone who wishes to delve deeper into the relationship between emotions, behavior, and social context.

Because behind a decision, there is often an emotion.
Behind a behavior, there is a story.
Behind a conflict, there is a need.

Behind a seemingly rational choice, there is often something we have not yet learned to see. This interdisciplinary manual invites us to look precisely there:
At the point where emotion and reason meet.
