Jaak Panksepp, a world-renowned neuroscientist, dedicated his life career to the study of mammalian emotions and he carved out seven distinct emotional systems he called \u003cb\u003eseeking\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003elust\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003ecare\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003eplay\u003c\/b\u003e (positive emotions), and \u003cb\u003efear\u003c\/b\u003e, \u003cb\u003eanger\u003c\/b\u003e, and \u003cb\u003esadness\u003c\/b\u003e (negative emotions), all exerting a tremendous influence on human behavior.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChristian Montag, a neuroscientist and psychologist, and a long-time collaborator of Jaak Panksepp, revisits together with Kenneth L. Davis, one of Jaak's PhD students, Panksepp's theories and provides the reader with new insights into the nature of emotions and their role as survival tools, both for animals and for humans. They also raise new questions about the background of the research field Jaak Panksepp coined \"Affective Neuroscience.\" How are personality and psychopathology linked to animal emotions? Do animals feel the same way as we do? What are our emotional needs in a digital society, and what is key to a happy life?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristian Montag\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Molecular Psychology at Ulm University, Ulm, Germany. He also currently holds a position as Visiting Professor at the University of Electronic Science and Technology in Chengdu, China. Montag is an expert in the molecular genetics of personality and emotions. Moreover, he investigates the impact of digital societies on human brains. He has published numerous articles in journals and also serves on the editorial boards of the journals \u003ci\u003ePersonality Neuroscience, Addictive Behaviors, International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eDigital Psychology.\u003c\/i\u003e He is co-editor of the book series \u003ci\u003eStudies in Neuroscience, Psychology and Behavioral Economics.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eAnimal Emotions \u003c\/i\u003eis his first popular science book in English.

He has recently developed a short adjective personality assessment called the ANPS-AR consisting of 24 adjectives, which can be used to self-rate personality but which can also be used by observers to rate the personalities of others such as therapy patients.
