Neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson maps the six distinct neural dimensions that define individual emotional styles and influence mental well-being.

Neuroscientist Dr. Richard J. Davidson and science journalist Sharon Begley outline a framework based on brain imaging research that identifies six dimensions of emotional style: Resilience, Outlook, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention. Davidson demonstrates how specific brain circuits govern where an individual falls along each continuum, shaping how people respond to adversity, process social cues, and maintain focus.

The authors detail how neuroplasticity allows individuals to intentionally modify their emotional patterns through mindfulness meditation, cognitive behavioral techniques, and targeted mental exercises.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Richard J. Davidson and Sharon Begley combine brain imaging data, clinical case studies, and practical mental training exercises. A solid neuroscience hardcover for readers interested in cognitive psychology, emotional intelligence, and brain health.
