莱昂纳德·姆洛迪诺既是一位才华横溢的学者，也是一位伟大的作家，他引导我们通过一门引人入胜的科学，了解我们的感受、原因，以及我们能做些什么。我从这本精彩的书中学到了很多：一部清晰、乐于助人、充满爱心的力克·汉森杰作
我们被告知，我们需要控制自己的情绪，理性思考才能成功。但是尖端科学表明，对于我们的成功来说，感情和思考一样重要。
你每天都会做出数百个决定，从早餐吃什么到如何影响他人，没有一个决定是在没有情绪的基础上做出的。长期以来，人们一直认为，在我们的行为中，思维和情感是独立的、对立的力量。但正如畅销书作家伦纳德·姆洛迪诺（Leonard Mlodinow）告诉我们的那样，心理学和神经科学的非凡进步已经证明，情绪和思维一样对我们的幸福至关重要。
如何更好地与他人沟通？如何改善你与挫折、恐惧和焦虑的关系？你能做些什么来过上更幸福的生活？答案在于理解情感。Mlodinow带领我们从先驱科学家的实验室走向现实世界中的灾难场景，向我们展示了我们的情绪是如何帮助我们的，为什么它们有时会伤害我们，以及我们能带来什么不同。
对我们的进化、生物学和神经科学的前沿研究和深入见解有望帮助我们更好地理解我们的情绪，并最大限度地发挥其益处。姆洛迪诺以其特有的清晰性和引人入胜的故事讲述了他对情感这门新科学的探索，是充分利用大自然给我们的最伟大礼物之一的重要指南。
Emotional: The New Thinking About Feelings, UK Edition
‘Both a brilliant scholar and a great writer, Leonard Mlodinow guides us through the fascinating science of what we feel, and why – and what we can do about it. I learned a lot from this wonderful book: a masterpiece of clarity, helpfulness, and heart’ Rick Hanson
We’ve been told we need to master our emotions and think rationally to succeed. But cutting-edge science shows that feelings are every bit as important to our success as thinking.
You make hundreds of decisions every day, from what to eat for breakfast to how to influence people, and not one of them could be made without the essential component of emotion. It has long been held that thinking and feeling are separate and opposing forces in our behaviour. But as best-selling author Leonard Mlodinow tells us, extraordinary advances in psychology and neuroscience have proven that emotions are as critical to our well-being as thinking.
How can you connect better with others? How can you improve your relationship to frustration, fear, and anxiety? What can you do to live a happier life? The answers lie in understanding emotions. Taking us on a journey from the labs of pioneering scientists to real-world scenarios that have flirted with disaster, Mlodinow shows us how our emotions help, why they sometimes hurt, and what we can make of the difference.
Cutting-edge research and deep insights into our evolution, biology, and neuroscience promise to help us understand our emotions better and maximize their benefits. Told with characteristic clarity and fascinating stories, Mlodinow’s exploration of the new science of feelings is an essential guide to making the most of one of nature’s greatest gifts to us.
