Some pics of the conference on affective disorders I attended at the end of October in the stunning Villa Contarini, close to Padova (Italy). The Conference room, called Sala delle Conchiglie, is entirely made with seashells 🐚

Finally announced on the @springernature.com website my new book on #metaphors and their #embodied nature in shaping our #thinking, #feeling, #perception and more. Very personal note: the book is dedicated to my dear colleague and Riccardo, who died 6 months after we signed the contract ❤️
