Features: The book introduces the concept of "New Emotional Medicine" right from the beginning, questioning and critiquing both talk therapy and medication. It points out the one-sidedness and narrowness of these two traditional pillars of emotional treatment. The author argues that the connection between the body and the emotional brain is more direct, and that improving people's physical condition can lead to more effective emotional self-healing. At the same time, the author provides a scientifically rigorous yet vividly innovative description of the brain, clearly explaining the differences in structure and function between the emotional brain and the cognitive brain, as well as their interdependent and mutually restrictive relationship. This further emphasizes that only when the emotional brain and the cognitive brain are in a state of interactive balance can people fully radiate the vitality of life and achieve psychological satisfaction of happiness and pleasure. The book's final method highlights the importance of good interpersonal emotional connections, emphasizing people's ability to manage conflicts, establish relationships, and pursue connections beyond personal emotions, all of which can effectively regulate the relationship between emotions and physiological functions. Each of the seven methods、, promotes and restores the coordination and balance between the emotional brain and the cognitive brain in different ways. They all share a common goal: helping people discover and awaken their innate healing instincts to heal their emotions. The book presents clear and distinct viewpoints, with smooth and natural writing, reflecting a perfect combination of rigorous scientific attitude and practical clinical practice.
