Eastern and Western cultures are seen here as mirror images in terms of rationality, relational thinking, and symmetry or harmony. Examples from the philosophical texts of Confucianism, Daoism, Buddhism, and classical poetry illustrate constructs of shading and nuancing emotions in contrast to discrete emotions and emotion regulation commonly associated with traditional psychology. The resulting text offers readers bold new understandings of emotion-based states both familiar (intimacy, solitude) and unfamiliar (resonance, being spoiled rotten), as well as larger concepts of freedom, creativity, and love. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIncluded among the topics: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe mirror universes of East and West.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn the crucible of Confucianism.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreedom and emotion: Daoist recipes for authenticity and creativity. \u003c\/li\u003eChinese creativity, with special focus on solitude and its seekers.\u003cli\u003eSavoring, from aesthetics to the everyday.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWhat is an emotion?
