Summary
Richard J. Davidson (with contributions from Sharon Begley): The Emotional Life of Your Brain
Why and how do people differ in their emotional responses to life's ups and downs?
The leading neuroscientist of our time, Richard J. Davidson, in his thirty years of research, discovered that each of us has an authentic Emotional Style, which consists of six key characteristics: resilience, perspective, social intuition, self-awareness, sensitivity to context and attention. Our unique emotional profile depends precisely on how these personality traits are intertwined. However, things do not end there: Davidson goes a step further, teams up with Sharon Begley, one of the sharpest science writers, and experimentally proves that it is possible to influence each of these characteristics and change the emotional profile.
