THE EMOTIONAL LIFE OF YOUR BRAIN How Its Unique Patterns Affect the Way You Think, Feel, and Live - and How You Can Change Them

A preeminent neurological researcher describes the latest findings on personality and emotional styles—how they are inherited, what life experiences impact them, and how we can improve them. Though the book is replete with psychological abstractions and experimental studies, it unfolds smoothly because of its conversational language, down-to-earth stories, and the authors’ optimism about our potential for growth. Arthur Morey’s serious interpretation adds fitting gravitas to this cutting-edge information. His approach invokes respect for the authors’ efforts and the importance of their findings relating to critical mental health challenges. He also demonstrates an outstanding ability to highlight important passages with carefully managed vocal energy. His sensitivity to the sweeping flow of this content brings the program’s 11 hours together with satisfying coherence. T.W. © AudioFile 2012, Portland, Maine [Published: SEPTEMBER 2012]
