Title: The Private Life of the Brain: Emotions, Consciousness, and
the Secret of the Self
By: Susan Greenfield
How does the human brain produce your private world?
Critically acclaimed neuroscientist and author Susan Greenfield,
who holds the prestigious position of Director of the Royal Institu-
tion in England, weaves together a thought-provoking examination
of childhood experiences, primal emotions, such as fear and euphoria,
and the effects drugs have on our personalities to probe the most
intriguing mystery facing today’s scientists: How does the human
brain create consciousness and a unique sense of self?
In this absorbing, lyrical exploration, Dr. Greenfield presents a
provocative new theory that treats emotions as the building blocks
of our consciousness and provides an illuminating glimpse into the
human brain that reveals the astonishing essence of who we are.
