Summary:
"Emotions feel like uncontrollable reactions to things we think and experience, as if they are hardwired in the brain. Today, however, the science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution. Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett's theory of emotion overturns the widely held belief that emotions are housed in different parts of the brain and are universally expressed and recognized. She has shown that emotion is constructed in the moment, by core systems that interact across the whole brain, aided by a lifetime of learning. This means that you play a much greater role in your emotional life than you ever thought."--Provided by publisher.
