Neuroscientist Richard Davidson explains how the brain's social and emotional circuitry becomes shaped to give each of us a unique "brain style" in reacting to life: hair trigger or slow to react, feeling strongly or weakly, recovering quickly or slowly. Davidson's research on meditators suggests we can take a more active role in reshaping our brains, and our emotional response, for the better.
