Opis

This book describes a ubiquitous and potent emotion that has only rarely and recently been studied in any systematic manner, which scientists now call ‘kama muta’ (Sanskrit, ‘moved by love’). The author shows that what evokes this emotion is the sudden creation, intensification, renewal, repair, or recall of a communal sharing relationship.
