If you think that intelligence emanates from the mind and that reasoning necessitates the suppression of emotion, you'd better think again - or rather not 'think' at all. In his provocative new book, Guy Claxton draws on the latest findings in neuroscience and psychology to reveal how our bodies - long dismissed as mere conveyances - actually constitute the core of our intelligent life.
