Summary of Richard J. Davidson's The Emotional Life of Your Brain

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 There are many different ways people respond to the same event, and the reason is not just that their DNA differs, but that their brain activity differs as well.

#2 Emotional Style is the way in which we react to different types of emotions. It is what makes some people bounce back from a painful divorce while others remain mired in self-recrimination and despair.

#3 Emotional Style is the way we react to events, and it is developed over the course of our lives. It is largely genetic, but we can change it through certain methods.

#4 There are six dimensions of Emotional Style, and each describes a continuum. Some people fall at one extreme of the continuum, while others fall somewhere in the middle. The combination of where you fall on each dimension adds up to your overall Emotional Style.
