A modern theory of how the brain produces emotions that can revolutionize neuroscience, health care, the justice system, and our human mind comprehension. Today the science of emotion is in the middle of a revolution on par with the discovery of biology of relativity in physics and natural selection, and this paradigm shift has far-reaching consequences for all of humanity.

A modern theory of how the brain produces emotions that can revolutionize neuroscience, health care, the justice system, and our human mind comprehension. Today the science of emotion is in the middle of a revolution on par with the discovery of biology of relativity in physics and natural selection, and this paradigm shift has far-reaching consequences for all of humanity. Psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett is leadingthis revolution, whose philosophy of feeling enables a deeper view of mind and brain and shines new light on what it means to be alive. Her research overturns the common assumption that thoughts are located in separate areas of the brain and are universally realized and recognized. Alternatively, she has demonstrated that empathy is developed spontaneously, by core mechanisms that communicate in the entire brain. The new idea suggests you’re playing a much larger role than you ever felt in your emotional life. How Emotions Are Made addresses these and even more questions, showing the newest findings and fascinating functional implications of the modern science of emotion and mind.
