Abigail Marsh – The Fear Factor: How One Emotion Connects Altruists, Psychopaths, and Everyone In-Between
“An exciting ride through your own brain.” –Adam Grant How the brains of psychopaths and heroes show that people are programmed to be good At fourteen, Amber boasted that she had killed her guinea pig, threatened to burn down her house, and seduced men in exchange for gifts. Like all children, she used every means available to her to get what she wanted. But unlike the other kids, she didn’t care about the damage. A few miles away, Lenny Skutnik cared so much about others that he jumped into an icy river to rescue a drowning woman. What is responsible for the extremes of generosity and cruelty that humans are capable of? After putting psychopathic children and extreme altruists on fMRI, renowned psychologist Abigail Marsh discovered that the answer lies in how our brains respond to the fear of others. While the brain’s amygdala makes most of us programmed forever, variations of it may explain heroic and psychopathic behavior. An innovative reading, The Fear Factor is essential for anyone seeking to understand the heights and depths of human nature. “You can’t put it down.” –Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of “Stumbling Over Happiness”
