Why Your Parents Are Driving You Up the Wall and What to Do about It

'I find their illogic and foolish emotions a constant irritant.' - Mr Spock, on humans (Star Trek S3E7) Emotions. They're a pain, aren't they? If only we were all a little less emotional and a lot more rational, we wouldn't get ourselves into half the scrapes we do. But is that a fair synopsis? Are emotions really some form of cognitive appendix that we'd be better off without? Or do they serve a deeper purpose? For them to take up so much of our brain's precious resources, emotions must have evolved for a reason. What is that reason? And how do they work in the brain? Are they innate, wired in from the word go, allowing a baby to cry with distress mere seconds after exiting the womb? Or are they learned, over time and through our experiences of dealing with others? In The Emotional Brain, Dean Burnett investigates all these questions - and many more besides. Combining in-depth research with expert analysis, the end result is a fascinating and endlessly entertaining account of the science underlying our emotional lives.

فهم الأمراض النفسية منطقيًا

Semua orang ingin bahagia, karena itu kita mati-matian mengejarnya. Upaya meraih kebahagiaan ini mendorong kita untuk bekerja (bahkan sampai larut malam), jatuh cinta, menonton stand-up komedi, pergi ke terapis, mengejar obsesi, berburu kekayaan, dan meraih kesuksesan. Tetapi, dengan melakukan semua itu, apakah kebahagiaan akan datang? Dari manakah datangnya kebahagiaan, dan mengapa kita sangat membutuhkannya? Apakah kebahagiaan itu abadi―atau hanya sementara? Dan apa hubungan kebahagiaan dengan otak? Dalam buku ini, Dean Burnett menjawab pertanyaan-pertanyaan tersebut—dan banyak pertanyaan penting lainnya—dari perspektif neuro-science. Dengan pendekatan teori-teori mutakhir tentang ilmu-ilmu emosi, ia mewawancarai banyak kalangan guna mengumpulkan pengalaman mereka, seperti pakar hubungan, psikolog, komedian, artis, jutawan, dan hampir semua profesi yang terlibat, dalam upaya untuk mengungkap apa yang membuat happy-dometer kita berdetak. Dipadu dengan selera humor cerdas dan mencerahkan, buku ini mengeksplorasi aspek yang menarik dari ilmu saraf modern dan menawarkan wawasan yang menghibur tentang apa maknanya menjadi manusia.

Role of the Hippocampus in Configural Learning

Happy, sad, angry, glad--why do we cry when we're ecstatic or mad? A fascinating look at the science of emotion Emotions can be a pain. After his father died of Covid, Dean Burnett found himself wondering what it would be like to live without emotion. And so, he decided to put his feelings under the microscope--for science. With his trademark humour, Burnett takes us on an incredible journey of discovery, stretching from the origins of life to the ends of the universe. Along the way, he reveals why we would ever follow our gut; whether things really were better in the old days; why it's so hard to stop doomscrolling; how sad music can make us happier; why we can't think straight when hungry; the point of nightmares; and why it is virtually impossible to forget embarrassing memories.

Lost and Found in the Science of Emotion

The Emotional Brain

Happy, sad, angry, glad—why do we cry when we’re ecstatic or mad? A fascinating look at the science of emotion Emotions can be a pain. After his father died of Covid, Dean Burnett found himself wondering what it would be like to live without emotion. And so, he decided to put his feelings under the microscope—for science. With his trademark humour, Burnett takes us on an incredible journey of discovery, stretching from the origins of life to the ends of the universe. Along the way, he reveals why we would ever follow our gut; whether things really were better in the old days; why it’s so hard to stop doomscrolling; how sad music can make us happier; why we can’t think straight when hungry; the point of nightmares; and why it is virtually impossible to forget embarrassing memories.

Le cerveau est l’organe le plus extraordinaire, le plus fascinant du corps humain, un prodige de complexité. Pourtant, c’est aussi parfois un véritable idiot qui n’en fait qu’à sa tête ! Par exemple, pourquoi le cerveau nous donne-t-il le mal de mer ? Pourquoi trahit-il sur notre visage des émotions que l’on voudrait dissimuler ? Qu’est-ce qui peut bien le pousser à croire aux superstitions les plus folles ? A faire d’horribles cauchemars ou à avoir des hallucinations ? Et pourquoi parvient-on plus facilement à se rappeler un visage que le nom d’une personne ? Dans ce livre très accessible, un neuroscientifique explique le fonctionnement (et les dysfonctionnements) de nos neurones à la lumière des dernières découvertes. Et en comprenant ce qu’il y a vraiment dans le cerveau, on apprend aussi à en limiter les imperfections... Un voyage passionnant dans les méandres de notre matière grise ! Un neuroscientifique décryptece qui se passe vraiment dans votre tête.
