"A pretty excellent book. I learned a bunch from this book, but since I am a cognitive and brain sciences major, it wasn't life-changing. That's my only real quibble, and I still strongly recommend reading it"
"This book is a little more on the scientific side than your average pop psych book, but that is precisely what I liked about it. Rather than examining the role of the brain from the top down, LeDoux gives us a very detailed explanation of how synaptic connections make us who we are from the bottom up and the top down. It's an informative read for anyone interested how the workings of the brain develop and define personality."
"LeDoux is an academic neurobiologist and clearly knows his stuff. His work on the wiring and role of the amygdola lays the basis for his ideas, but this is a strong base. To analyze the way the brain creates consciousness and a self is obviously complex, and presently not explicable. We need to begin with simple systems that we have a hope of mastering, and this book fills the bill for us reductionists."
"Fascinating info but only the last chapter (and bits of pieces here and there in the earlier parts) are really applicable to the title of the book. As much as I love learning the nuts & bolts of how the brain works it wasn't my first goal in reading the book."
