This longawaited book by a pioneer in brain research
offers a new model of our emotions- their origins, their
power, and their malleability. For more than
thirty years, Richard Davidson has been at the forefront of
brain research. Now he gives us an entirely new model for
understanding our emotions, as well as practical strategies
we can use to change them. Davidson has discovered
that personality is composed of six basic emotional
"styles," including resilience, self-awareness, and
attention. Our emotional fingerprint results from where on
the continuum of each style we fall. He explains the brain
chemistry that underlies each style in order to give us a
new model of the emotional brain, one that will even go so
far as to affect the way we treat conditions like autism and
depression. And, finally, he provides strategies we can use
to change our own brains and emotions-if that is what we
want to do. Written with bestselling author Sharon
Begley, this original and exciting book gives us a new and
useful way to look at ourselves, develop a sense of
well-being, and live more meaningful lives.
