Richard Firth is The Emotional Historian. A PhD, Fellow of the Royal Historical Society, and professor who uses 2,500 years of human experience to teach you how to feel better.

His book, A Human History of Emotion, reveals that every feeling you've struggled with, from anxiety to grief, shame, anger, even loneliness, has been felt, wrestled with, and survived by someone before you.

History is your emotional playbook.

Here, you'll find deep-dive stories of historical figures who faced their darkest moments, ancient tools re-engineered for modern life, and surprising truths about where today's emotions actually come from.

Richard has taught at Queen Mary University of London and is a Distinguished Professor at Woxsen University. He's a recognised authority on the history of emotion.

This is more than just self-help with a history flavour. It's history that could change your life.
