Good Books: The book "Descartes Error" by A. Damasio investigates people who have suffered serious brain injuries and found that people who do not perceive emotions correctly will act irrationally. According to Damasio, emotion is necessary for rational behavior. Emotions allow you to choose quickly and easily among the many choices constantly available to you, saving you time and allowing you to zero in on correct solutions to problems.
A real gem. I enjoyed it.
