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

5.0

An exceptional, thought provoking book that outlines, in laymen's terms, the recent neuroscience research that shows that certin emotional attributes (resilience, social awareness, attention, outlook, self-awareness, sensitivity to context)are linked to specific activity in the brain - and are not hard-wired. The authors (Davidson and Sharon Begley) worked on the project with the Dalai Lama and the University of Michigan years ago that demonstrated that meditation changes the brain. Sure to be of interest and value to anyone who works with people/children.
