この本の内容は、2つのテーマから成っています。
-----
1)ひとつは、著者が開拓した研究領域の成果: 感情は、脳の様々な働きと深く関わっており、
それは6つの独立な基本特性に還元できること、
そしてその基本特性は脳の別々の領域の活性化により裏付けられることを紹介します。
(感情を光とすれば、光の三原色に例えられるでしょうか)
症状は異なっても原因となる基本特性が共通ならば、
同じ方法で治療できる可能性が論じられています。
最終章には6つの基本特性を変えるための瞑想法などの方法がいくつか提示されています。
-----
2)もうひとつの内容は、35年間にわたる研究生活を率直に語った回想記としての側面:
著者と同年輩の研究者である私には、一筋縄では行かなかった研究の進め方について、
著者が述べる内容は大変興味深いものでした。
著者の研究は、科学とメンタルトレーニングを融合させた新しい領域を開拓したものであり、
最近の日本の例でいえば光岡知足氏の腸内細菌叢の研究を思い起こさせます。
-----
仏教瞑想が脳の働きに及ぼす効果に関心がある方にも、
またそのような研究をしてきた著者の研究史に関心があるかたにもおすすめです。

What is your emotional fingerprint?
Why are some people so quick to recover from setbacks? Why are some so attuned to others that they seem psychic? Why are some people always up and others always down? In his thirty-year quest to answer these questions, pioneering neuroscientist Richard J. Davidson discovered that each of us has an Emotional Style, composed of Resilience, Outlook, Social Intuition, Self-Awareness, Sensitivity to Context, and Attention. Where we fall on these six continuums determines our own “emotional fingerprint.”
Sharing Dr. Davidson’s fascinating case histories and experiments, The Emotional Life of Your Brain offers a new model for treating conditions like autism and depression as it empowers us all to better understand ourselves—and live more meaningful lives.

5つ星のうち5.0 Understand Emotional Style, and how it can be changed
Amazonで購入This book is different to many others on the subject of human emotion. Books on this subject tend to be either motivational self-help, or purely sedate scientific affairs. This book succeeds in combining many of these elements, while remaining an enjoyable read.
The book pulls off this feat by combining the efforts of a popular-science writer, Sharon Begley, with those of a leading pioneer of neuroscience, Richard Davidson. This gives the book both its irresistibly lucid style of writing, while maintaining impeccable scientific credibility. At the same time, the book reads as if it were written by a single author, frequently referring to himself in first-person narratives: "My thirty years of research in effective neuroscience has produced hundreds of findings..." This simplifies matters greatly, making it easy to relate to Davidson, and maintains the momentum and thrust of his ideas.
The book steers away from any hint of affected suspense, and sets out early on the six dimensions of what it calls "Emotional Style" and relates them to other established classification systems, such as the "Big Five" personality traits (openness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism) and commonly perceived personality traits (impulsive, patient, shy, anxious, grumpy)
After a brief overview, Davidson sets off by telling the story of how the scientific landscape looked back in the 70s, leading to the period when he first embarked on the academic study of emotions. Davidson then progresses on to how he went about his investigations, based on observations ranging from monitoring the subjects' heart rates, to fMRI brain scans. This helps to establish the book's scientific authority, and reassures the reader of the merits of the contents which follow.
As most readers will not have access to brain electrodes - let alone MRI scanning equipment - Davidson offers the next best thing in the form of simple questionnaires which the reader can use to self-evaluate each dimension of "Emotional Style" by answering True or False to a set of 10 questions in each questionnaire. These are simple and fun to do, and the scoring system is straightforward too.
Whether the outcome this evaluation merely confirms what you had always suspected, or come as a complete surprise, the good news is Davidson is convinced that it is possible for you to change your emotional style if you wished to do so. Davidson makes a point of saying very clearly that there are no rights or wrongs when it comes to emotional style, nor is there a pinnacle or an ideal as such. Nevertheless, if you feel you would benefit from altering your style along one or more of the individual six dimensions, Davidson offers practical methods and exercises which you can follow to bring about, in time, the changes you desire.

5つ星のうち3.0 Bueno
Amazonで購入No fue lo que pensaba, yo leo libros en inglés pero si no eres un experto te aconsejo mejor no lo compres a menos que te llene aprender nuevas palabras. El estilo de escribir creo que o es muy elegante o muy elaborado por qué hay muchas palabras que me hicieron difícil seguir la narrativa. Espero eso no los desmotive sino al contrario. En cuanto al contenido muy interesante pero insisto no es un libro fácil, al menos para mi.
