This groundbreaking book by a pioneer in neuroscience brings a new understanding of our emotions - why each of us responds so differently to the same life events and what we can do to change and improve our emotional lives.
At the forefront of brain research for thirty years, Davidson helps us identify our own emotional 'style' and explains the chemistry that underlies it. Giving us a new model of the emotional brain, he also provides strategies we can use to change our brains and emotions to help our lives.
Deepening our understanding of the mind-body connection - as well as conditions like autism and depression - Davidson stretches beyond mainstream psychology and neuroscience and expands our view of what it means to be human.
