And if jealousy was not only a basic element of human psychology but also a necessary condition for love? Pazzini sheds new light on this emotion, which we rightly consider most of the time as poisoning and destroying couples' lives. How can we tame this "monster with green eyes" described by Shakespeare in "Othello"?
Pazzini analyzes the emotion of jealousy from every angle, assesses its intensity and the forms in which it manifests itself in the couple's life, examines the ways in which it relates to related emotions - envy, possessive tendencies, competitive spirit - as well as the new forms it takes from the rapid introduction of new interpersonal communication media (sms, chat, internet). [...] A fun thirty-question test that you will find at the end of the book will allow you to verify directly - alone or with your romantic partner - how jealous you are.
