N2  -  An invitation to the sociology of emotions explores how emotions are shaped, regulated, and understood within social contexts rather than being viewed solely as individual psychological experiences. Written for beginners, the book introduces key theories and concepts in the sociology of emotions using accessible language, real-world examples, research studies, and exercises.
The text examines topics such as emotion norms, emotion management, emotional labor, emotional exchange, and the social construction of feelings. It explains how culture, institutions, relationships, and social interactions influence emotional expression and interpretation. The author also discusses how emotions function in everyday life, workplaces, families, and broader social systems
