Similarly Freud gave us a super ego, ego, or id, and Kahneman has his 'S1' and 'S2' (quick thinking vs thoughtful mind). It's been wrongly floating around since Plato hypothesized that we were like the charioteer (reason) being led by the horse being pulled apart by our passion and our appetites. This author demolishes that finding, and I really hope I never see anyone else site that experiment again without at least first mentioning this author's analysis. I always suspected there was something wrong with the results which claimed that there is a universal set of emotions based on unique emotional 'fingerprints'. I started liking this book from the very beginning, because I have previously read in over 20 books the experiment where they show photos of actors posed with an emotional expression of some kind and showed it to various people from different cultures and then claiming that each group shown the pictures knew what emotion was being invoked by the actor posing in the picture. This book is definitely an exception to that rule. Most new pop science books irritate me since they give me nothing I didn't already know.
An entertaining and engaging read.” - Forbes “Chock-full of startling, science-backed findings. A lucid report from the cutting edge of emotion science, How Emotions Are Made reveals the profound real-world consequences of this breakthrough for everything from neuroscience and medicine to the legal system and even national security, laying bare the immense implications of our latest and most intimate scientific revolution. Instead, Barrett shows, we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interplay of brain, body, and culture. Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose research overturns the long-standing belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in different brain regions. The science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. “A brilliant and original book on the science of emotion, by the deepest thinker about this topic since Darwin.” - Daniel Gilbert, best-selling author of Stumbling on Happiness “A singular book, remarkable for the freshness of its ideas and the boldness and clarity with which they are presented.” - Scientific American
A thought-provoking journey into emotion science.” - Wall Street Journal
