Here is a riveting and comprehensive account of the profound discoveries rocking neuroscience today. Written by a breakthrough researcher in the field, this is the resource for understanding the vast complexities of human feelings. It is the first single volume to combine peer-reviewed, double-blind scientific research with prescriptive guidelines for the general reader: Clear explanations and fascinating case studies present the latest clinical findings about the panorama of mechanisms -- physical, environmental, hormonal, genetic -- that create emotions -- and sometimes send them out-of-control.

Evaluated are dozens of the newest therapies that can help ameliorate destructive behaviors, from depression and addiction to anxiety and rage. Also provided are simple self-help strategies to improve the quality of emotional life. The up-to-date information combines intriguing theoretical insights with practical advice, including:
-- How to choose among the many available antidepressants
-- How allergies can effect mood
-- The link between depression and heart disease, and how to treat both
-- Eye movement patterns that alleviate painful memories
-- The hormone released by lying in the dark that soothes anxiety and craving
-- The biological basis of monogamy

Experts agree: Readers who want to understand human emotions need only to consult this book.
