Why are many people so quick to recover from a setback while some wallow in despair? Why are many people so highly attuned to others that they seem psychic, while other people put both foot in it over and over again? Why are many people always up as well as others always down? With this hotly anticipated e book, award-winning, pioneering neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson right answers these questions by offering an totally new style of our emotions - their roots, their vitality, and their malleability. Davidson has discovered that each folks is composed of six basic "Emotional Styles": Resilience, Perspective, Public Intuition, Self-Awareness, Awareness to Context, and Attention. Our very own personal emotional fingerprint results from where on the continuum of each style we fall. He talks about the patterns of brain activity that underlie each style to be able to give us a fresh style of the emotional brain, one which will go as far as to affect the way we treat conditions like autism and despair. And, finally, he provides strategies we can use to determine our own Emotional Style and also to change our own brains and emotions - if that is exactly what we want to do. Written with best-selling creator Sharon Begley, this original and enjoyable book offers us a fresh and useful way to look at ourselves, create a sense of well-being, and live more meaningful lives.
