The author of the bestselling "An Unquiet Mind"--an internationally renowned authority on mood disorders--now gives readers something wonderfully different: an exploration of exuberance and how it fuels our most important creative and scientific achievements.
A national bestselling author examines one of the mind's most exalted states one that is crucially important to learning, risk-taking, social cohesiveness, and survival itself.
[Jamison is] that rare writer who can offer a kind of unified field theory of science and art. The Washington Post Book World
With the same grace and breadth of learning she brought to her studies of the mind s pathologies, Kay Redfield Jamison examines one of its most exalted states: exuberance. This abounding, ebullient, effervescent emotion manifests itself everywhere from child s play to scientific breakthrough.
Exuberance: The Passion for Life introduces us to such notably irrepressible types as Teddy Roosevelt, John Muir, and Richard Feynman, as well as Peter Pan, dancing porcupines, and Charles Schulz s Snoopy. It explores whether exuberance can be inherited, parses its neurochemical grammar, and documents the methods people have used to stimulate it. The resulting book is an irresistible fusion of science and soul.

[Jamison is] that rare writer who can offer a kind of unified field theory of science and art.... The origins and mystery of creativity have long been her holy grail, and she argues with her usual wit, ingenuity and panache that exuberance is one of its wellsprings. The Washington Post Book World
Fascinating reading.... On a subject that invites inflates prose, Jamison maintains a deft but not showy eloquence.... Trenchant and entertaining. San Francisco Chronicle
Jamison brilliantly conjures up characters.... A book on exuberance ought to be a romp to read. The one is. Los Angeles Times
Jamison has a capacity for moving smoothly between tasty digressions, hard science and sweeping cultural analyses..... This reads like a book that was a long time in coming, written by one who came to appreciate the brightest sunlight only after becoming acquainted with the darkest nights. The Seattle Times
