Lisa Feldman Barrett

A new theory of how the brain constructs emotions that could revolutionize psychology, health care, law enforcement, and our understanding of the human mind.Emotions feel automatic, like uncontrollable reactions to things we think and experience. Scientists have long supported this assumption by claiming that emotions are hardwired in the body or the brain. Today, however, 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—ans this paradigm shift has far-reaching implications for us all.Leading the charge is psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett, whose theory of emotion is driving a deeper understanding of the mind and brain, and shedding new light on what it means to be human. Her research overturns the widely held belief that emotions are housed in different parts of the brain and are universally expressed and recognized. Instead, she has shown that emotion is constructed in the moment, by core systems that interact across the whole brain, aided by a lifetime of learning. This new theory means that you play a much greater role in your emotional life than you ever thought. Its repercussions are already shaking the foundations not only of psychology but also of medicine, the legal system, child-rearing, meditation, and even airport security.Why do emotions feel automatic? Does rational thought really control emotion? How does emotion affect disease? How can you make your children more emotionally intelligent? How Emotions Are Made answers these questions and many more, revealing the latest research and intriguing practical applications of the new science of emotion, mind, and brain.

Carefully organized, tightly edited chapters address such compelling questions as how bodily responses contribute to conscious experience, whether "unconscious emotion" exists, how affect is transmitted from one person to another, and how emotional responses are produced in the brain. Bringing a new level of coherence to lines of inquiry that often remain disparate, the book identifies key, cross-cutting ideas and themes and sets forth a cogent agenda for future research.

Najlepsza książka o emocjach ostatniej dekady - przełomowa teoria powstawania emocji. Zmieniając myślenie o nas samych, wywiera ogromny wpływ na wszelkie nauki związane z człowiekiem, psychologię, medycynę, prawo, pedagogikę. Naukowcy zakładali dotychczas, że emocje są wbudowane w ciało i mózg - powstają automatycznie - będąc niekontrolowanymi reakcjami na to, co czujemy i czego doświadczamy. Jednak nauka o emocjach przechodzi rewolucję - na miarę teorii względności w fizyce czy selekcji naturalnej w biologii. Ta zmiana myślenia niesie za sobą następstwa dla nas wszystkich. Na czele tej rewolucji stoi psycholog i neurobadacz, Lisa Feldman Barrett , której teoria emocji prowadzi do głębszego rozumienia umysłu i mózgu, rzucając nowe światło na istotę człowieczeństwa. Jej badania obalają szeroko rozpowszechnione przekonanie, że za poszczególne emocje odpowiadają odrębne części mózgu oraz że emocje są wyrażane i rozpoznawane w sposób uniwersalny. Barrett dowodzi, że tworzone są one pod wpływem chwili przez zespoły oddziałujących na siebie odrębnych systemów w mózgu i ciele, wspierane przez zbierane w ciągu całego życia doświadczenia. Wszystko to oznacza, że na swoje życie emocjonalne mamy dużo większy wpływ, niż nam się kiedykolwiek wydawało. Rewolucyjna teoria Barrett wstrząsnęła posadami nie tylko psychologii, ale również medycyny, prawa, pedagogiki, obszarów wiedzy związanych z medytacją, a nawet z zarządzaniem bezpieczeństwem. Dlaczego wydaje się, że emocje są automatyczne? Czy rozum naprawdę je kontroluje? Jak wpływają one na choroby? Jak zwiększyć inteligencję emocjonalną swoich dzieci? Książka ?Jak powstają emocje" udziela odpowiedzi na te oraz na wiele innych pytań, prezentując najnowsze badania i praktyczne zastosowanie nowej nauki o emocjach, umyśle i mózgu. Fascynująca (...) dająca do myślenia podróż w głąb nauki o emocjach. Wall Street Journal

But as our understanding has advanced in the last few decades, a hugely powerful new view has flipped this assumption on its head. The brain is not a passive receiver, but an ever-active predictor.
