Descartes' Error: Emotion, Reason, and the Human Brain by Antonio Damasio

Did not finish book. Stopped at 12%.
  • The sample was enough to get the gist: our emotions have deep roots in our body and are intertwined with our rationality, so there's no rational being like Descartes prescribed. The whole "I'm rational and hence emotions don't affect my judgment" is scientifically wrong.
  • reviews say it's very thorough and detailed, and I'm not sure it's worth my time
