<p>Don't let emotions--your own, or someone else's--control your life!</p><p>Feeling extreme emotion is part of being human. We may feel overwhelming joy at the birth of a child, crippling terror at the sight of an intruder in our home, or unbearable sadness upon the death of a loved one. While we may be surprised at the force of our feelings, they are normal and are not a cause for concern. What's concerning is when strong emotions cause us to spin out of control and make us behave in ways we later wish we hadn't.</p><p>In <em>Untangling the Mind</em>, Dr. George explains how to: </p><ul> <li> Identify the difference between a legitimate emotional reaction and a pathological one</li> <li> Understand the biological basis of your hard-wired reactions</li> <li> Recognize why your distress is caused by a neurological malfunction</li></ul><p>Dr. George, a psychiatrist, has accessed the most cutting-edge technology, such as fMRI, facial analysis, PET scans, and chemical infusions. With this technology, he is able to provide a deep understanding of the inner workings of the brain that can portray a clear picture of what happens--chemically and physically--when we get depressed, act out, or fall into an addiction. Once we understand what happens, we can start to live a calmer, more harmonious life.</p>
