I finished listening to How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain (Unabridged) by Lisa Feldman Barrett, narrated by Cassandra Campbell on my Audible app. Try Audible and get it free: https://www.audible.com/pd?asin=B01NA0TG25&source_code=AFAORWS04241590G4
How Emotions Are Made addresses a matter that is central to learning in a manner that forces us to radically rexamine some of our most persistent biases about the brain. Most of us have learned a faulty model of the brain and have adopted a classical view - the triune brain - that, as the author shows, does not hold up to scientic scrutiny. The search for blobs in the brain that contain specific fingerprints of emotion has yielded a surprising result: none exist. Instead, the author shows how the predictive brain constructs conclusions based on steady streams of inputs from throughout the entire network, consistent with body budgets, concepts, culture, and other factors.
