About this title

Synopsis

Hate is often described as the most intense emotion, and is unfortunately much in the news due to increased visibility of hate crimes, hate speech, hate groups, domestic violence, violence among schoolchildren, and the terrorist attacks in New York and Washington. This volume offers a study of what hate is, how it affects our behaviour and how we can control it. Neuroscientists have discovered that hate emerges from a primitive survival response that combines prejudice and extreme anger. Because of this discovery, insights into how hate affects our behaviour - and how we can control it - have come to light. The author presents a nine-step strategy for curbing and eliminating hate and detecting its presence and intensity based on scientific research. This strategy can be used both in our everyday lives and in our efforts as a society to improve our relationships with family, friends and co-workers, and potentially heal the hatreds that fester within our nation and around the world.
