Despre The Grieving Brain carte
A renowned grief expert and neuroscientist shares groundbreaking discoveries about what happens in our brain when we grieve, providing a new paradigm for understanding love, loss, and learning.
For as long as humans have existed, we have struggled when a loved one dies. Poets and playwrights have written about the dark cloak of grief, the deep yearning, how devastating heartache feels. But until now, we have had little scientific perspective on this universal experience.
InThe Grieving Brain, neuroscientist and psychologist Mary-Frances O’Connor,PhD, gives us a fascinating new window into one of the hallmark experiences of being human. O’Connor has devoted decades to researching the effects of grief on the brain, and in this book, she makes cutting-edge neuroscience accessiblethrough her contagious enthusiasm,and guides us through how weencodelove and grief. With love, our neurons help us form attachments to others; but, with loss, ourbrain must come to terms withwhere our loved ones went, or how to imagine a futurethat encompasses their absence.
Based on O’Connor’s own trailblazing neuroimaging work, research in the field, and her real-life stories,The Grieving Braindoes what the best popular science books do, combining storytelling, accessible science, and practical knowledge that will help us better understand what happens when we grieve and how to navigate loss with more ease and grace.
