The Emotional Brain by Joseph E Ledoux

LeDoux's book provides a cutting edge scientific background to such books as Daniel Goleman's "Emotional Intelligence", showing that while cognitive scientists have tended to ignore the emotions, we are increasingly understanding how crucial they are to our evolutionary survival, short cuts to cut through conscious reasoning when speed and rules of thumb are more important and effective than logic.
