About this listen
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.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Increase narrator speed for easier listening to this brilliant book!
Panksepp’s work is groundbreaking and more people should read this! As others have said the narrator isn’t the easiest to listen to, but I found that increasing the playing speed (you can do this easily in the app) made it flow better and was then much easier to listen to. Also if you find earlier chapters a bit heavy going, or if you get stuck, just skip ahead to the chapters on the different emotions. Valuable information here for understanding oneself, other people and also other mammals.

Awful narrator
Robotic and expressionless, like listening to a computer, so hard to listen to I couldn't get into the book at all :(

Robotic narration
Extremely interesting content. But the narration is of a poor quality with a robotic voice that pauses in the wrong places while reading. The narration makes the content very hard to follow. Had to stop listening.
