This is the latest volume in the series of Springer titles on emotional engineering tracking the development of this field. Engineering has been based on the Euclidean space approach and it was numerical data-centric. In short, our engineering up to now has been control-based, i.e., on tactics and problem solving. When we realize AI consumes 10,000 times more energy than human brain, we understand how it is better to use 10,000 people’s minds. But current society is industrial society. The industrial revolution introduced division of labour and we started to work for others. But the tremendous consumption of energy indicates that we need to move toward another society. If we can make the next society a self-Satisfying society (SSS) and create a new sustainable society with greater mental wellbeing then many emerging problems will be solved and we can enjoy our lives better. Emotional engineering engages with this challenge.

Nothing even a micro level change can occur unless mind permits. Therefore, change must be thriving and constructive regarding every aspect of life. Now with the help of this advance technique, any one can not only diagnose and define him but also will be able to keep them away from mental and other illnesses ensuring proper and perfect mental empowerment without medication and just within few weeks as the due period of curing through this Emotional Engineering is the fastest so far. Without proper mental empowerment, there is no meaning of curing and without it no one can get rid of mental and other disorders. In fact, mental empowerment stands for ability of thinking, imagination and working with intelligence. Emotional Engineering successfully meets this task out successfully. Regarding mental disorders, there is a very important and significant fact that if you are mental disorder stricken it does not mean that you have lesser or inferior mind to others. Whereas, the reality is quite the opposite; disorder stricken individuals have quite more mind than normal. Because of not using complete mind or abusing, individual falls into disorder. Emotional Engineering ensures utilization of about whole mind by reforming, forming, creating or all neural pathways of personality traits. Through this way, it insists the abilities and talents which are either hidden or visible. A phrase which is prominently used in this therapy is more mind more problems whereas no mind no problem. Therefore, any individual suffering from any mental disorder must not worry about it; because it is dead sure that he has more mind than others do. He must go for precise analysis of his personality to get his exact Intrapersonal Communication based Emotional Mechanism and on applying Intrapersonal Communication based Emotional Engineering should get empowered mind with Cure. With the help of this advance technique society would be not only disorder free but also would be quite empowered along with more abilities with sound and specific potential

Early in the 20th century, our world was small and closed with boundaries. And, there were no appreciable changes. Therefore, we could foresee the future. These days, however, we could apply mathematical rationality and solve problems without any difficulty. As our world began to expand rapidly and boundaries disappeared, the problem of bounded rationality emerged. Engineeres put forth tremendous effort to overcome this difficulty and succeeded in expanding the bounds of mathematical rationality, thereby establishing the ""Controllable World."" However, our world continues to expand. Therefore such an approach can no longer be applied. We have no other choice than ""satisficing"" (Herbert A. Simon's word, Satisfy + Suffice). This expanding open world brought us frequent and extensive changes which are unpredictable and diversification and personalization of customer expectations. To cope with these situations, we need diverse knowledge and experience. Thus, to satisfy our customers, we need teamwork. These changes of environments and situations transformed the meaning of value. It used to mean excellent functions and exact reproducibility. Now, it means how good and flexible we can be to adapt to the situations. Thus, adaptability is the value today. Although these changes were big, and we needed to re-define value, a greater shift in engineering is now emerging. The Internet of Things (IoT) brought us the ""Connected Society,"" where things are connected. Things include not only products, but also humans. As changes are so frequent and extensive, only users know what is happening right now. Thus, the user in this Connected Society needs to be a playing manager—he or she should manage to control the product-human team on the pitch. Moreover, this Connected Society will bring us another big shift in engineering. Engineering in this framework will become Social Networking, with engineering no longer developing individual products and managing team products. The Internet works two ways between the sender and the receiver. Our engineering has ever been only one way. Thus, how we establish a social networking framework for engineering is a big challenge facing us today. This will change our engineering. Engineers are expected to develop not only products, but also such dream society. This book discusses these issues and points out that New Horizons are emerging before us. It is hoped that this book helps readers explore and establish their own New Worlds.
