Synopsis

For millennia, thinking and feeling have been seen as opposing forces, with the belief that logic must master emotions. However, new advances in psychology and neuroscience are challenging this traditional view. This book takes readers on a journey to understand the evolutionary purpose of emotion, its role in our brains, and how it influences decision-making. It reveals that emotions are not an obstacle to reason, but an integral part of our human ability to think.
