I was listening to a podcast today (I think it was Impact Theory) and I was excited to hear the host bring up the importance of emotion in decision-making. He seems to have reached some of the same conclusions as I, regarding emotional primacy

He also brought up some studies that were done on patients that had been lobotomized and no longer had the portion of brain that is responsible for emotion available to them. The study participants could easy make logical pros and cons regarding a decision, but were entirely unable to actually make the decision, regardless of any obvious benefit.

Very interesting stuff.
