Alex J. Zautra is Foundation Professor of Clinical and Health Psychology at Arizona State University. He has dedicated his career to the study of resilience.

"Written for both educated lay people and professionals, [Emotions,
Stress, and Health] will be particularly exciting to researchers
and practitioners since it provides a conceptually clean and
consistent summary of the approach. There simply is no comparable
book on the market; since this 'two-dimensional' model is at the
cutting-edge of emotion research, Zautra's exciting book has no
competitors." --Metapsychology Online Review
"Writing in a clear and engaging style, Zautra presents a
well-organized argument that positive emotions have physical and
psychological consequences and need to be examined in their own
right alongside the negative emotionsHis arguments are convincing,
creative, and stimulating-and based on sound empirical
research."CHOICE
"Zautra challenges us to face the paradox of emotions by reflecting
upon our ability to integrate positive and negative in a
two-dimensional, relational field." --The Irish Psychologist
"Provides many interesting and important aspects of how an
individual's life is impacted by a variety of emotions and stress.
The book is easy to read, and exceptionally relevant to TR
[therapeutic recreation] practitioners and researchers,
particularly those interested in psychiatry, geriatrics, and mental
health. The use of up to date research to support the information
on stress, emotions and their impact on health make this a
must-have for the TR student,
practitioner, or researcher." --Therapeutic Recreation Journal
