The Emotional Brain: Sense of the Brain by Joseph LeDoux

6/3 Edited to

... Read moreในชีวิตจริง ผมเคยประสบกับสถานการณ์ที่อธิบายในหนังสือ The Emotional Brain ของ Joseph LeDoux อย่างชัดเจน เมื่อครั้งหนึ่งขณะที่ผมเดินเล่นในสวน ก็เห็นสิ่งที่คล้ายงูอยู่บนพื้นทันที สมองของผมตอบสนองทันทีด้วยความกลัวโดยไม่ทันตั้งตัว ผมถอยหลังทันทีก่อนจะได้พิจารณาว่าสิ่งนั้นเป็นงูปลอมหรือไม่ นี่คือพลังของสมองส่วนที่เกี่ยวกับอารมณ์ซึ่งทำหน้าที่ป้องกันตัวเราให้รอดพ้นจากอันตราย โดยอัตโนมัติก่อนที่จะใช้เหตุผลคิดวิเคราะห์ สิ่งที่น่าสนใจอีกอย่างคือความทรงจำที่เกี่ยวกับเรื่องอารมณ์มักจะฝังแน่นและเด่นชัดกว่าความทรงจำเหตุการณ์ปกติ เพราะระบบอามิกดาลา (Amygdala) จะทำงานร่วมกับสมองส่วนความจำเพื่อบันทึกเหตุการณ์ที่มีผลต่ออารมณ์อย่างชัดเจน เช่น วันเกิดอุบัติเหตุหรือความผิดหวังครั้งใหญ่ เราจำเหตุการณ์เหล่านี้ได้ดีเพราะอารมณ์ช่วยยึดเหนี่ยวความทรงจำเหล่านั้นไว้ จากประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวและแนวคิดในหนังสือ ผมรู้สึกว่าเราควรตระหนักว่าความรู้สึกและอารมณ์แม้จะเกิดขึ้นโดยทันทีและไม่ต้องการเหตุผลเสมอไป แต่สามารถสอนให้เราเข้าใจตัวเองได้มากขึ้น และปรับใช้ในชีวิตประจำวัน เช่น การรับมือกับความกลัวหรือโกรธที่เกิดขึ้น วิธีการตอบสนองอย่างมีสติสามารถช่วยให้เราจัดการกับอารมณ์เหล่านั้นได้ดีขึ้นและมีความสุขมากขึ้น หนังสือ The Emotional Brain จึงไม่เพียงแต่เป็นการเปิดมุมมองใหม่เกี่ยวกับความรู้สึกในสมองเท่านั้น แต่ยังเป็นคู่มือที่ช่วยให้เราเข้าใจการทำงานของสมองในภาวะอารมณ์และเรียนรู้วิธีจัดการกับมันอย่างมีประสิทธิภาพมากขึ้น

A year and a half ago, at 42 years old, I got diagnosed with ADHD. Not “can’t sit still” ADHD. Not “little boys bouncing off walls” ADHD. But the kind where your brain is basically a glitter tornado inside a snow globe. That’s inattentive ADHD. And suddenly… ✅ Why I lose my phone while hold
