Book Response #3

Once again I fail to meet what I said I would do. I started reading this book titled: Emotional Intelligence. It is indeed another psychology book, but a little more interesting than the complicated "Travels into Neuropsychology" book and just reading the psychology book(which I am still doing).
   Today my book focused on explaining the "amygdala"(a part of the brain that controls your emotions). In the passage I read it gave examples of how that part of your brain effects us in our everyday lives. 

"life is a comedy for those who think and a Trajedy for those who feel". This is an interesting quote because this really does relate to me. I am a person who "feels" so when I read that I was like "damn, my life is a Trajedy".  

The amygdala is really one of the most fascinating parts of the brain. If  an very unlikely to forget or lose this perspective.  

The brains connection to the amygdala causing you to almost always act on emotion in immediate response situations, then later once the signals are sent to your that amusing you act logically. 

The picture below shows a boy who acted solely based on his amygdala when discovering he left his phone in his car at school.
