“In research by Professors James Rilling and Gregory Berns, neuroscientists at Atlanta’s Emory University, participants’ brain activity was recorded while they were given the chance to help someone else. When they did so, this triggered activity in portions of the brain that are activated when people receive rewards or experience pleasure.” (p. 158)

“From the dawn of human history, our very survival depended on our skill at dodging danger. The brain developed systems that would make it impossible for us not to notice danger and, thus, be better able to respond to it fast.” (p. 81)
