Rather than imposing concepts based on human introspective experience to the brains of other creatures, neuroscientist Joseph LeDoux says we should instead attempt to understand how the human brain is similar to the brains of other animals. He proposes that much of what is called emotion in studies of other animals is accounted for by the operation survival circuits, circuits involved in defense, energy/nutrition supplies, fluid balance, thermoregulation and procreation. In this Templeton Lecture he details how the brain detects and responds to danger, and learns and forms memories about threats.

In his conversation with Nick Feik, Cleary discusses the many potential pitfalls of a rapidly accelerating boom, and the traps that many countries before us have been caught in: a heady period of boom and growth, followed by a painful bust. Paul Cleary maps out the landscape, counts the human and environmental costs, shows what has worked overseas and suggests a better way forward.
