Overview

Decision making is an area of profound importance to a wide range of specialties - for psychologists, economists, lawyers, clinicians, managers, and of course philosophers. Only relatively recently, though, have we begun to really understand how decision making processes are implemented in the brain, and how they might interact with our emotions. Emotions and Reason presents a groundbreaking new approach to understanding decision making processes and their neural bases. The book presents a sweeping survey of the science of decision making.

"`""Decision-making is probably more pervasive and important than many scholars realize. It is not simply the result of deep thought and careful reflection, but rather is required to produce all but the simplest forms of reflexive behavior. This book explores key aspects of the nature of decision making and introduces stimulating new ideas and insights. I recommend it highly for anyone interested in how the brain guides behavior."" ' Stephen Kosslyn, John Lindsley Professor of Psychology, Harvard University"

...owing to the abundance of inspiring thoughts and propositions and the ardent writing style, I can highly recommend the book to any interested reader. The Lancet, Vol 6
