In this book she draws on her own work and that of many other scientists from around the world and with a compelling mix of science and anecdotes explains why optimism is more difficult than pessimism; how innocent stimuli can become triggers for terror; how our ancient neural circuits take over our thoughts and memories and why some people are driven to dangerous risks.
