The Emotional Life of Your Brain – How Its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live–and How You Ca n Change Them
This much awaited book by a brain research pioneer presents a novel theory of our emotions, including their causes, strength, and flexibility.
Richard Davidson has been at the forefront of brain research for almost thirty years. He now offers us a whole different framework for comprehending our feelings and useful methods for altering them.
According to Davidson, personality is made up of six fundamental emotional “styles,” such as self-awareness, resilience, and attention. Our place on the spectrum of each style determines our emotional imprint. In order to provide us with a new understanding of the emotional brain—one that will even influence how we treat disorders like autism and depression—he describes the brain chemistry that underlies each type. Finally, he offers techniques that, if we so choose, we may utilize to alter our own minds and emotions.
This unique and fascinating book, co-written with best-selling author Sharon Begley, offers us a fresh and practical perspective on how to view ourselves, cultivate a sense of wellbeing, and lead more fulfilling lives.
