Summary
What is the evolutionary advantage of negative emotions? And how can these emotions best be managed in daily life? This program investigates the strong feelings commonly regarded as obstacles to happiness-anger, fear, anxiety, and despair-to explain why they sometimes overwhelm the rational part of the brain. Among the cases profiled are a woman whose out-of-control temper jeopardizes her relationships; a teen struggling to overcome clinical depression; a college student whose fear of flying limits her life; and veterans seeking an effective treatment for post-traumatic stress disorder.
