Summary of Leonard Mlodinow's Emotional

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

#1 On Halloween 2014, a strange aircraft ascended high into the skies above the barren Mojave Desert. The custom-built carbon-fiber plane was essentially a twin cargo jets flying side by side, joined at the wing. The aim was for the cargo jet to carry the Enterprise to an altitude of fifty thousand feet, from where it would be dropped, briefly fire its engines, and then glide to a landing.

#2 The plane was traveling at 920 miles per hour when it ripped apart. From the ground, it looked like a massive explosion. Alsbury died instantly when the plane broke apart.

#3 The story of the Enterprise illustrates how anxiety can lead to a bad decision. In our ancestral environment, there were many more life-threatening dangers than we typically face in civilized life, and so our fear and anxiety reactions may seem overblown.

#4 Emotion states play a fundamental role in the information processing of all creatures, from simple insects to mammals. They also play a role in the actions that those creatures take as a result.
