Ever wonder why you feel what you feel, is it right to feel that way, or what your feelings are telling you about the world? The ‘So Emotional’ Book Club is here to help you grapple with these questions. We read popular books by philosophers, neuroscientists, and psychologists to think about and discuss what emotions are, how society affects what and how we feel, and how to wield our emotions in the right way. The club aims to improve our knowledge about emotions and maybe even improve our own emotional well-being and emotional intelligence along the way. OPEN TO UCR COMMUNITY AND GENERAL PUBLIC.
 

Hybrid Event: Dinner will be served (In-person limited to 15 people, so RSVP if attending in person).
