How Emotions Are Made (häftad, eng)

<p><b>'<i>How Emotions Are Made</i> did what all great books do. It took a subject I thought I understood and turned my understanding upside down' &ndash; Malcolm Gladwell, author of <i>The Tipping Point</i></b><br><br>When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside of you?<br><br>Uncover fascinating insights into the human mind with <i>How Emotions Are Made </i>by Lisa Feldman Barrett, a pioneer in neuroscience and psychology.

This profound book will dismantle and reconstruct your understanding of your own emotions.<br><br>The world perceives our emotions as automatic and reactive, a response to the world around us. But <i>How Emotions Are Made</i> poses a compelling new perspective, suggesting emotions aren't universally pre-installed, rather they are unique psychological experiences constructed through our personal history, physiology, and environment.<br><br>This new view of emotions has serious implications:<br><br>- when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion<br><br>- when police officers fire at threatening suspects<br><br>- when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another<br><br>They're all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies.

Revising that conception of emotion isn't just good science, Barrett shows; it's vital to our well-being and the health of society itself.</p>
