"[The Emotional Brain] is vivid and convincing in its description
of the central mechanisms of emotion, and is directly applicable to
understanding anxiety, the most common ingredient of emotional
disorders. It's a terrifically good book."
-- Keith Oatley, New Scientist
"The Emotional Brain is an excellent introduction to the strange
history of the neurobiology of emotion and a preview of what lies
ahead."
-- Antonio R. Damasio, Scientific American
"Engrossing and engaging..."
-- Richard Restak, The New York Times Book Review
"Highly accessible...LeDoux's musical and literary references
reveal a man clearly in touch with his own emotional feelings. All
said, The Emotional Brain is a stimulating and thoughtful work and
is essential reading for any serious student of human emotion."
-- Raymond J. Dolan, Nature
"Joseph LeDoux is a superb guide to that ultimate frontier in
understanding our emotional life, the brain."
-- Daniel Goldman, author of Emotional Intelligence
