Sommario/riassunto

This ebook consists of a summary of the ideas, viewpoints and facts presented by Drew Westen in his book "The Political Brain: The Role of Emotion in deciding the Fate of the Nation". This summary offers a concise overview of the entire book in less than 30 minutes reading time. However this work does not replace in any case Drew Westen's book.<br>Westen argues that emotion plays an important role when Americans vote, he provides us with a "clinical" view of a number of campaign ads, debates, and candidates profiles that have won the voters' hearts. <br>
