Emotions aren't just hardwired reactions, but complex constructs shaped by culture and experience. Neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett upends conventional wisdom, revealing how our brains generate each feeling we have - and the profound implications for everything from medicine to national security. With vivid examples and surprising insights, this paradigm-shifting work shows how mastering the science of emotion can empower us to live more authentic, meaningful lives.
