Evolve Your Brain presents this information in depth, while helping you take control of your mind.

Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture.

The original 1937 manuscript was written and edited with the assistance of Napoleon’s wife. In later years, the existing document was again edited by Dr. Hill.
