The Emotional
Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional
Life
Joseph Ledoux
What happens in
our brains to make us feel fear, love, hate,
anger, joy? Do we control our emotions, or do
they control us? How can traumatic experiences
in early childhood influence adult behavior,
even though we have no conscious memory of them?
In The Emotional Brain, Joseph LeDoux
investigates the origins of human emotions and
explains that many exist as part of complex
neural systems that evolved to enable us to
survive.
