Emotional ecology is the art of sustainably managing our emotional world so that our affective energy serves us to grow as individuals, enhance the quality of our personal relationships, and improve the world we live in. Emotional ecology offers a new, creative, and revolutionary approach in emotional education that simultaneously addresses emotional and environmental educational aspects, aiming to shape a new model of person: the emotionally ecological person. In this volume, we will discuss emotional meteorology. We will learn that the emotional climate is the result of the emotions we each emit. These emotions can combine, interfere, accumulate, or quickly spread, and they can improve or worsen the emotional climate of our ecosystem-be it familial, educational, or social. Are you interested in learning strategies to prevent emotional pollution, avoid 'tsunamis,' and protect yourselves from emotional acid rain?

Maria Mercè Conangla and Jaume Soler are psychologists and the founders of the Fundació Àmbit institute for personal development in Barcelona (Spain), a non-profit organization that has specialized in providing training, counseling, and resources for personal growth, education, and emotional management since 1996. Two of its innovative projects are the ÀMBITuniversit@rtdelviure program and its Master's in Emotional Ecology, which the authors co-direct. Their research and work in the context of humanist psychology and emotional management led them to develop a new concept of emotional ecology in 2002, which they have since advocated in eleven co-authored books. Both are lecturers and collaborating professors in a variety of master's degrees linked to emotional management, well-being, and personal growth at the University of Barcelona.
