Please join us to discuss How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett.
In How Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett reveals that our common-sense ideas about emotions are dramatically out of date. Emotions aren't universally pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history, physiology and environment.
