In The Blank Slate, Steven Pinker, one of the world's leading experts on language and the mind, explores the idea of human nature and its moral, emotional, and political colorings. With characteristic wit, lucidity, and insight, Pinker argues that the dogma that the mind has no innate traits, denies our common humanity and our individual preferences, replaces objective analyses of social problems with feel-good slogans, and distorts our understanding of politics, violence, parenting, and the arts.

The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

Attraverso brevi dialoghi immaginari vedremo in azione la corteccia prefrontale (la regista razionale sempre pronta a pianificare), l'amigdala (la sentinella emotiva perennemente all'erta) o il nucleus accumbens (l'amante del piacere), ma anche ormoni e neurotrasmettitori come dopamina (il motivatore da palco), cortisolo (il project manager ansioso), serotonina (a.k.a.

The culmination of three decades of Allan Schore's groundbreaking work, this book details how the right brain―the psychobiological locus of Freud's unconscious mind―plays a fundamental role in the early origin of human nature (the general characteristics and feelings attributed to human beings).

For half a century, we have been trained to believe that our right brain hemisphere is our emotional brain, while our left brain houses our rational thinking. Now neuroscience shows that it's not that simple: In fact, our emotional limbic tissue is evenly divided between our two hemispheres. Consequently, each hemisphere has both an emotional brain and a thinking brain. In this groundbreaking new book, Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor presents these four distinct modules of cells as four characters that make up who we are.
