The Physics of Emotions

What if emotions were not problems to manage—but signals to understand? In The Physics of Emotions, Sandeep Chavan challenges the dominant psychological narrative that emotions must be controlled, regulated, or overcome. Drawing from a field-based understanding of mind and intelligence, the book presents a radically different proposition: emotions are not personal possessions or flaws, but consequences of interacting fields—internal memory, identity, bodily readiness, and external context. This book dismantles familiar assumptions: that emotional intelligence is about control, that calmness equals balance, that happiness defines freedom, and that identity owns emotion. Instead, it introduces a new framework—Field Intelligence—where emotional clarity arises from literacy, timing, and alignment rather than effort or suppression. Through a continuous, novel-like narrative (not techniques or exercises), the book explores: why emotions refuse to obey, how identity forms as stable misalignment, why anxiety, motivation, confidence, and love are often misread, how intuition functions as low-latency alignment, and what emotional freedom actually feels like when struggle ends. Rejecting both therapeutic prescriptions and spiritual abstraction, The Physics of Emotions offers a clear, grounded language for understanding emotional life without pathologizing it. It is written for thinkers, educators, leaders, and anyone who has tried emotional mastery—and found that effort only deepened the conflict. This is not a book about winning over emotions. It is a book about ending the argument with them. When emotions are understood structurally, they stop troubling us—not because they disappear, but because they finally make sense.
