How Emotions Are Made

Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D., is a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, with appointments in Psychiatry and Radiology at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. She is an elected member of the Royal Society of Canada and won a National Institutes of Health Director's Pioneer Award for her revolutionary study on emotion in the brain.

Emotional science is undergoing a revolution comparable to the discoveries of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a psychologist and neuroscientist, is leading the effort, and her study challenges the long-held belief that emotions are automatic, universal, and hardwired in distinct brain regions. Barrett demonstrates that we construct each instance of emotion through a unique interaction of brain, body, and society. How Emotions Are Made, a clear report from the cutting edge of emotion science, reveals the profound real-world implications of this breakthrough for everything from neuroscience and medicine to the legal system and even national security, laying bare the enormous implications of our latest and most intimate scientific revolution.
