À propos de cet audio

 We have learned much about depression, but what about its opposite? Why hasn't the human emotion that lifts us, inspires us, drives us on, and makes life worth living been discussed-and celebrated? In this outstanding book, bestselling author Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison explores exuberance in all its unrestrained, joyful energy, and shows how its unique vitality is essential to our existence. Jamison points to the contagiousness of laughter, excitement, and positive feelings, and how it plays a role in choosing a mate, in the giddiness of new love, music, and religious ecstasy. She also discusses our dangerous desire to simulate exuberance by using drugs or alcohol. Most of all, Jamison points to some of our most famous artists and scientists to show how they all share an exuberance for life that inspires their discoveries, drives, and the force to persevere even when it seems the odds are against them.©2004 Kay Redfield Jamison; (P)2004 Books on Tape Développement personnel Psychologie Psychologie et santé mentale Réussite Santé mentale Science Sciences biologiques Émotions Santé Maladie d’Alzheimer

Ce que les critiques en disent

“[Jamison is] that rare writer who can offer a kind of unified field theory of science and art.... The origins and mystery of creativity have long been her holy grail, and she argues—with her usual wit, ingenuity and panache—that exuberance is one of its wellsprings.” —The Washington Post Book World

“Fascinating reading.... On a subject that invites inflates prose, Jamison maintains a deft but not showy eloquence.... Trenchant and entertaining.” —San Francisco Chronicle


“Jamison brilliantly conjures up characters.... A book on exuberance ought to be a romp to read. The one is.” —Los Angeles Times


“Jamison has a capacity for moving smoothly between tasty digressions, hard science and sweeping cultural analyses..... This reads like a book that was a long time in coming, written by one who came to appreciate the brightest sunlight only after becoming acquainted with the darkest nights.” —The Seattle Times
