Today it has over 350 articles on topics such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, business psychology, emotional intelligence, and much more.

All articles are written by me, Steven Handel, a 23 year old psychology graduate from Binghamton University, where I also briefly worked as a research assistant in a study testing the effects of mindfulness meditation on chronic depression.

Since I graduated with my Bachelor’s degree, I opted out of continuing my formal education and instead decided to embark on an journey of self-learning and scientific journalism.

I follow all the latest research in psychology from my psychology news feed, which combines over 50 online publications on psychology and neuroscience, including popular sites like Scientific American, Science Daily, Psych Central, Psychology Today, Mind Hacks, and PsyBlog. I also happily serve as a moderator on Reddit’s psychology and zen habits boards.

Last but not least, I’m also a frequent contributor on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and LinkedIn, where my aim is to engage with like-minded people and share information and insights about human thought and behavior.

My main mission with The Emotion Machine is to provide a wide range of resources, information, tools, and techniques to help guide individuals toward living happier and more successful lives.
