The Emotional Brain: The Mysterious Underpinnings of Emotional Life

What makes us feel fear, love, hate, anger, or joy? Do we control our emotions, or do they control us? Do animals have emotions? How can early childhood traumatic experiences influence adult behavior without conscious memory? Author Joseph LeDoux investigates human emotions, explaining that many exist as part of complex neural systems that evolved for survival. This book explores the brain mechanisms underlying our emotions, which are only now being revealed.
