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.

Critic reviews
"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)

Whether you are a Jamison veteran or not this is a highly worthwhile listen. Whether this book describes you or one you know, realize the notion of exuberance captures well many in history - recently and alive today.
If you value keep abreast of what is what and where the culture is headed this is a periscope read to keep you in tune with insight into the lives of many many who have been mainstreamed but who are outstandingly insightful people who have a mind to stand out - regardless of how they have been camoflaged into the culture.
A worthwhile listen and relisten.
Oh yes oh yes
