The Emotional Life of Your Brain

The Emotional Life of Your Brain: How Its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live - and How You Can Change Them

Sharon Begley (author), Richard Davidson (author)

Why we behave the way we do has been the life study of pioneering neuroscientist Richard Davidson.

Helping us to understand our own emotional responses and discover our unique 'emotional style', Davidson & Begley also show how we can retrain our brains through mindfulness and meditation to alter lifelong patterns of destructive or unhelpful behaviour.

Practical and illuminating, this book expands our view of what it means to be human.
