Facets of Human Emotions

Human emotions are part and parcel of human life. Since the mind is never without thoughts, humans are never without emotions because emotions are embedded in thoughts. When I started researching this topic, I was overwhelmed by its vastness. In this paper, I have restricted myself to understanding the meaning and defining human emotions and explored different kinds of emotion; examined the impact of emotions on our body; peeped into brain activities during emotions. I have also dwelt on the historical background or emotions and their significance on our work life and touched briefly on the enormous topic of emotional intelligence and have included a comparison of IQ (Intelligence Quotient) with EQ (emotional intelligence quotient).
