內容簡介

內容簡介 《情緒跟你以為的不一樣》作者、國際重量級心理學家暨神經科學家最新著作一部關於大腦的小品，其重量卻讓你無法忽視！Amazon 2020年編輯選書BARNES AND NOBLE 2020最佳科學圖書BEHAVIORAL SCIENTIST 2020注目圖書AUDIOFILE MAGAZINE 2020 Earphones Award 得主本書作者麗莎．費德曼．巴瑞特博士，曾獲得美國國家衛生研究院先鋒獎和2019年古根漢研究學者獎（每年全球僅二人），是國際知名的心理學家暨神經科學家。有沒有想過你為什麼擁有大腦？巴瑞特博士為你揭開兩耳之間那塊巨大的灰色斑塊的神秘面紗。在這七篇簡短的文章中（再加上一些些關於大腦如何進化的小故事），本書輕薄、有趣且易於閱讀，其中蒐集與使用的資料揭示了來自神經科學研究最尖端的開闊思路。在這本書，巴瑞特博士將引領讀者學習大腦的來源、結構（及其重要性），以及你的大腦如何跟其他大腦協同工作，以創建你所體驗的一切。在這個過程中，你還會學習到如何消除那些決定你行為的流行神話，例如「蜥蜴腦」的思想（蜥蜴腦指的是人類負責維繫生命功能動作的腦部，是掌管吃喝拉撒睡、性慾、憤怒、恐懼、趨吉避凶的求生本能或動物性直覺，是人類從遠古遺留下來、最根深柢固、根本的記憶與本能。），以及所謂的「思想與情感」，甚至「自然與養育」（nature and nurture）之間的鬥爭。作者提及，她撰寫本書的目的不是要你去思考人性是什麼，而是要邀請你去想想自己是什麼樣的人，或是想成為什麼樣的人。本中文書介出自《關於大腦的七又二分之一堂課》商周出版From the bestselling author of How Emotions Are Made'A series of highly accessible, content-rich and eminently readable essays . . .
