Didn't finish, very interesting stuff, but not an easy read.

I enjoyed the bits about neuroscience and research - made me want to learn more. I was less interested in the digressions into the author's life, especially when he was talking about (his own) poetry.

Very insightful as a beginner's venture into psychology/neuroscience, especially when it concerns emotions. Everything is explained well with examples, case studies, and empirical research.

I enjoyed reading this. It breaks down somewhat complicated neuroscience research into readable information, while integrating brain chemistry with more ephemeral things like love and joy. It doesn't explain why or how our emotions work, but it gives some insight into how they might work. Definitely readable.
