'How Emotions Are Madedid what all great books do. It took a subject I thought I understood and turned my understanding upside down'- Malcolm Gladwell, author ofTalking to Strangers<br><br>When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside of you?<br><br>Perhaps you thought of your emotions as automatic and reactive, a response to the world around you. The thrill of seeing an old friend, the fear of losing someone you love - each of these sensations seems to arise automatically and uncontrollably.<br><br>But inHow Emotions are Madepioneering neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett shatters everything you thought you knew with a compelling new argument: emotions aren't universally pre-programmed into our brains and bodies but, rather, are unique psychological experiences constructed through our personal history, physiology and environment.<br><br>Relationships, health, parenting, even national security - emotions have serious implications for them all.How Emotions are Madeoffers a radical new framework that finally explains what you're feeling - and why it matters so much.
