'All The Feels is a brilliant field-guide for all of us trying to make sense of the weird and even wonderful ways our love of technology is transforming our emotional lives. I urge you to read it!' Tiffany Watt Smith, author of The Book of Human Emotions

Technology is transforming the way we feel and express emotions, from rage-fuelled doomscrolling and 'three-dot' texting anxiety to the entire pantheon of emojis and memes at our disposal. Tech can amplify our feelings, foster 'emotional contagion', and help us to build close relationships. Our emotional intelligence has already been expanded, from the nuanced expression of a well-timed GIF to the ways we treat Siri and Alexa more like friends than computer programs. 

But could the next wave of tech rewire the way we express ourselves and understand others even further? And, with computers now able to read and express sentiments too, how can we best navigate this new landscape in which our emotional lives have become inextricably entwined with our digital lives?

We're often told just to 'switch off', but that's becoming more difficult. Instead of raging against the machines, we could learn how to live with them. Tech no longer stands apart from who we are; it is reshaping our inner lives. In this groundbreaking and much-needed book, Pamela Pavliscak provides the toolkit we've been waiting for, encouraging readers to look forward to a healthier, more emotionally diverse future. It's time to harness the power of technology to lead emotionally rich lives – both online and off.
