ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"How Emotions Are Made" by Lisa Feldman Barrett presents a groundbreaking exploration of human emotions, venturing beyond conventional understandings. The book delves into the brain's intricate processes, revealing how our experiences of happiness, sadness, anger, and fear are actively constructed rather than being innate and universally expressed. It examines the crucial role of concepts, language, and context in shaping our feelings and perceptions. By challenging the long-held belief in distinct emotional circuits, the author offers a new perspective on the relationship between our brains, bodies, and the social world in the creation of our emotional lives.
