Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be posting videos about one of the most important books I've read: How Emotions Are Made, by Lisa Feldman Barrett. She's among the top 1% of cited neuroscientists in the world, and her research on emotions and affect is huge. She's been challenging a lot of the mainstream science and beliefs about emotion, and her message is revolutionary, and very challenging to accept.
I'm going to go over the Theory of Constructed Emotion, as opposed to the Classical idea of Essentialism. We'll be looking at some of the unhelpful metaphors of the past and present, and getting a deeper sense of the connection between the mind and the body, and hopefully come to a place where we can live more embodied than before.
In this video, I'll briefly go over the myths of emotions that are fairly mainstream, and I'll introduce the Theory of Constructed Emotion. In Part 2, I'll talk about How Emotions Are Learned as children, and that's over on my new channel, @SimonsBookClub. Check out the video here:

In Part 3, we'll be looking at how emotions are constructed after we've learned the emotions, and we'll talk about the importance of the interoceptive network and emotion concepts. We'll end off with an examination of anxiety, and then move on to Part 4, where we'll look at some of the challenges we face with emotions, and how those challenges can be better tackled, if we use the framework of the Theory of Constructed Emotion.
Here's the full playlist of videos so far:
