Exuberance: The Passion for Life

Exuberance: The Passion for Life
- Great product!
With the same grace and breadth of learning she brought to her studies of the mindâ€™s pathologies, Kay Redfield Jamison examines one of its most exalted states: exuberance. This â€œabounding, ebullient, effervescent emotionâ€ manifests itself everywhere from childâ€™s play to scientific breakthrough and is crucially important to learning, risk-taking, social cohesiveness, and survival itself. Exuberance: The Passion for Life introduces us to such notably irrepressible types as Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, and Richard Feynman, as well as Peter Pan, dancing porcupines, and Charles Schulzâ€™s Snoopy. It explores whether exuberance can be inherited, parses its neurochemical grammar, and documents the methods people have used to stimulate it. The resulting book is an irresistible fusion of science and soul.
