Emotional: How Feelings Shape Our Thinking

People make hundreds of daily decisions all influenced by emotions. Despite the belief that thinking and feeling oppose each other, psychology and neuroscience show that emotions are crucial to well-being. This book explores how to connect better with others, understand frustration, fear, and anxiety, and live a happier life. Drawing from scientific research and real-world scenarios, author Leonard Mlodinow explains how emotions can help and hurt, and what we can learn from both.

Using evolutionary insights, Mlodinow provides tools to better understand and maximize the benefits of emotions. Told with clarity and fascinating stories, Emotional offers an essential guide to making the most of nature’s greatest gift.
