Eva Illouz, born on April 30, 1961 in Fez, Morocco, is a Franco-Israeli sociologist and writer specialized in the history of emotional life and the impact of capitalism on culture. Currently, she is a professor of sociology and anthropology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has been a director of studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Her research focuses on the commodification of emotions and "affective capitalism".

Among her most notable works are "Cold Intimacies: The Making of Emotional Capitalism" (2007), "Why Love Hurts" (2012), and "Happycracy: How the Science and Industry of Happiness Control Our Lives" (2019), the latter co-written with Edgar Cabanas. These works belong to the genre of sociology and have been translated into numerous languages, consolidating her international reputation.
