Publisher's Summary
What makes us happy? What makes us sad? How do we come to feel a sense of enthusiasm? What fills us with lust, anger, fear, or tenderness? Traditional behavioral and cognitive neuroscience have yet to provide satisfactory answers. The Archaeology of Mind presents an affective neuroscience approach - which takes into consideration basic mental processes, brain functions, and emotional behaviors that all mammals share - to locate the neural mechanisms of emotional expression. It reveals - for the first time - the deep neural sources of our values and basic emotional feelings.
This book elaborates on the seven emotional systems that explain how we live and behave. These systems originate in deep areas of the brain that are remarkably similar across all mammalian species. When they are disrupted, we find the origins of emotional disorders.
The book offers an evidence-based evolutionary taxonomy of emotions and affects and, as such, a brand-new clinical paradigm for treating psychiatric disorders in clinical practice.

A Must Read for Teachers
This book teaches about basic emotional systems. Schools have for the past century functioned on out dated Behaviorist models that don't take into account the basic emotional needs of students when instituting rewards and punishments. Although, conditioning does play a role, it does so through primary affect networks. If I understand this book correctly, finding ways to honor and support these basic emotional networks will enhance how your students engage in learning. There are many questions that arise from playing with this and all of them are testable. I am excited to see how these ideas will be a catalyst for moving away from Rewards and Punishments for student motivation. Next, if you accept these premises, explore Anna Lempke's book, Dopamine Nation, for an in-depth clinical view of the seeking system and how it is shaping modern culture and addiction.

Amazing work
Very interesting subjects ; reading performance sadly, for me was very boring. Felt robotic and a bit annoying.
