What's inside
- The six dimensions of emotional style
- The brain activity behind each one
- A self-assessment for each dimension
- How training can change them
Neuroscientist Richard Davidson draws on thirty years of research to describe six dimensions of 'emotional style', such as resilience, outlook and attention, that together make up each person's emotional profile. He explains the brain activity behind each one and how practices like mindfulness can shift them.
Written for general readers with science journalist Sharon Begley.
