The private life of the brain

by Susan Greenfield

"Rich in insights from such diverse realms as pharmacology, psychology, neuroscience and everyday life. The Private Life of the Brain traces the life of the mind and reveals how our childhood experiences, intense emotions like fear and euphoria, and the drugs that induce these extreme feelings dramatically affect who we are. She argues that emotions exist at the core of our consciousness to a greater or lesser degree, depending on how much we are using - or losing - our mind at any given moment."--Jacket.
