About the book
Jaak Panksepp, a pioneering neuroscientist, investigates the neurobiological foundations of emotions, arguing that mammals share primary brain circuits that generate feelings and affects. He challenges the traditional separation between cognition and emotion, revealing how emotions are fundamental to survival and behavior.
A groundbreaking work that opens pathways to understanding the mind from a neurobiological perspective, offering deep insights into why feelings matter as much as reason. Essential for psychologists, neuroscientists, and anyone interested in human nature.
