Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain & How Emotions Are Made By Lisa Feldman Barrett 2 Books Collection Set

Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain and How Emotions Are Made by Lisa Feldman Barrett are presented together in a two-book set, bringing accessible writing informed by neuroscience and psychology. Across both titles, Barrett explores how the brain functions and reconsiders established ideas about the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain is structured as seven short essays plus a brief story on how brains evolved, drawing on contemporary neuroscience research. In How Emotions Are Made , Barrett revisits an understanding of emotion traced back to Plato and questions whether it is accurate, using scientific evidence to argue that common-sense views are outdated and that emotions are constructed psychological experiences shaped by personal history, physiology and environment.
