"Passion and Fury: The Emotional Brain is a rare and compelling investigation of our most basic emotions -- fear, anger, happiness and love -- and the internal forces that can take humans from the brink of madness and obsession to the heights of ecstasy and euphoria. Bringing together powerful human stories with frontier science, this special four-part series looks at the primal emotions that we generate in our brain. Anger This show confronts anger, from its primordial roots in self-defence to its expression in modern violence. We ask whether the potential for impulsive anger lurks in our genes, why we still need this most frenzied of emotions, and what science can do to help us control it. 050322.cbc.the.nature.of.things.passion.and.fury.the.emotional.brain.1of4.anger.640x480.xvid.mp3.festering.leper.avi [696.96 Mb] [Info]
