I am not the least bit good at managing some of my emotions, like anxiety or excitement; they often feel like a pride of lions I’m trying to wrangle into a game of Monopoly. Fortunately for me, Leonard Mlodinow (pronounced Mlodinov, I learned) wrote this handy dandy book about how our brains concoct emotions and why. I feel like I’ve suddenly been giving the long lost manual to the IKEA tools and parts of my brain. I am a happily assembled human, replete with a well behaved menagerie of internal mechanisms gaming life together. Loved this book, am deeply empowered by it, and I hope lots of people find themselves with a copy of it too.
