false 5116823 1 <B>A new examination of the surprising origins of human goodness.</B><BR><BR>In <I>Born to Be Good</I>, Dacher Keltner demonstrates that humans are not hardwired to lead lives that are "nasty, brutish, and short"—we are in fact born to be good. He investigates an old mystery of human evolution: why have we evolved positive emotions like gratitude, amusement, awe, and compassion that promote ethical action and are the fabric of cooperative societies?<BR><BR>By combining stories of scientific discovery, personal narrative, and Eastern philosophy, Keltner illustrates his discussions with more than fifty photographs of human emotions. <I>Born to Be Good</I> is a profound study of how emotion is the key to living the good life and how the path to happiness goes through human emotions that connect people to one another. 60 photographs. 5183608 12 1 2009 Born to Be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life total:36|5:4|4:12|3:8|2:8|1:4| 36 112 171 14 3 1 false false Sun Apr 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 20:27:49 -0700 2009 Sun Apr 05 20:35:44 -0700 2009 more...]]> 2 1 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 13:04:24 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 27 13:05:30 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 16:17:00 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 14 21:46:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 1 false false Wed Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 07:15:53 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 31 07:22:50 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed May 06 19:05:58 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 17:55:49 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Feb 13 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Sun Dec 14 14:21:06 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 13 16:42:21 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Sat Apr 25 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 19:07:35 -0700 2009 Tue May 19 19:09:02 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Sat Aug 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:14:11 -0700 2009 Mon Aug 31 14:15:23 -0700 2009 3 0 true false Sat Apr 18 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Apr 06 10:26:11 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 23 14:58:00 -0700 2009 full review ]more...]]> 0 0 false false Wed Feb 11 12:04:59 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 11 12:05:28 -0800 2009 Time magazine.]]> 2 0 false false Fri Oct 30 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 27 10:48:37 -0700 2009 Fri Oct 30 08:46:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu May 28 17:48:09 -0700 2009 Thu May 28 17:48:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Dec 13 12:27:01 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 13 12:27:21 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Fri May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Apr 16 15:01:45 -0700 2009 Wed Jun 03 17:16:40 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 08:21:41 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 08:21:41 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Fri Nov 06 20:52:38 -0800 2009 Fri Nov 06 20:52:38 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Nov 05 05:52:19 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 05 05:52:19 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Nov 04 22:04:42 -0800 2009 Wed Nov 04 22:04:42 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 01 20:42:47 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 01 20:42:47 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Thu Oct 29 22:55:39 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 29 22:55:39 -0700 2009
