Why are emotions so impulsive? Why is it difficult to forget negative experiences? Why is it so hard to focus? Why do we panic? How does will-power operate? What causes anger? What causes depression? What is at the base of anxiety? Why do we feel most hurt because of relationships? What is at the root of OCD? How does stress affect learning?
This book attempts to answer such questions in a scientific yet simplified manner by looking at emotions and emotional problems through the lens of Neuropsychology – the domain that examines the relationship between brain and mind.
