Illustrated with more than fifty photographs of human emotions, <em>Born to Be Good</em> takes us on a journey through scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy. Positive emotions, Keltner finds, lie at the core of human nature and shape our everyday behavior--and they just may be the key to understanding how we can live our lives better.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>A bright, entertaining book . . .
