Summary of Kay Redfield Jamison's Exuberance

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Exuberance is an abounding, ebullient, and effervescent emotion. It is not happiness, but it is a more restless and billowing state. It is not a quiet sense of contentment, but rather exuberance that leaps, bubbles, and overflows.

#2 Exuberance, the more energetic form of joy, is essential to our existence. It is a material part of our pursuits, and it is a vibrant force to signal victory, proclaim a time to quicken, to draw together, and to exult.

#3 Exuberance is a wonderful thing, but it can also be calamitous. It is a defining quality of great teachers, statesmen, and adventurers. Used properly, it can bring about change and hope.

#4 Roosevelt’s life in politics was abruptly broken when his wife and mother died in 1884. He threw himself into reform work, and became a gale force in Washington.
