About this listen
Jamison points to the contagiousness of laughter, excitement, and positive feelings, and how it plays a role in choosing a mate, in the giddiness of new love, music, and religious ecstasy. She also discusses our dangerous desire to simulate exuberance by using drugs or alcohol. Most of all, Jamison points to some of our most famous artists and scientists to show how they all share an exuberance for life that inspires their discoveries, drives, and the force to persevere even when it seems the odds are against them.

"She [Jamison] is that rare writer who can offer a kind of unified theory of science and art." (Washington Post)
"Fascinating...rich, trenchant and entertaining." (San Francisco Chronicle)
