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

4.0

I enjoyed the aspects of meditation in this book and how you can use it to rewire your brain. I also appreciate the specificity of how to rewire for the six different aspects of your emotional style; however, I felt that the book could have shaved off 20ish pages that focus mostly on his personal life and personal discoveries. I can see how some would like this, but for me it just seemed unnecessary. Also, in the anecdote about a person with autism Davidson interacted with, he did not consistently use person-first language, which irked me.
