Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, Ph.D., a Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University who is a world expert in the science of emotions. She explains what emotions are and how the brain represents and integrates signals from our body and the environment around us to create our unique emotional states. We discuss the relationship between emotions and language, how our specificity of language impacts our emotional processing, the role of facial expressions in emotions, and how emotions relate to sleep, movement, nutrition and the building and reinforcement of social bonds. We also discuss actionable tools for how to regulate feelings of uncertainty and tools to better understand the emotional states of others.

I thoroughly enjoyed Barretts book; How Emotions Are Made - The Secret Life of The Brain, its a gem among popular science books. The book shifts your perspective and add volume to your knowledge. She does a great work at cleaning up bad science and clarifying the new science, removing old beliefs and explaining the latest research. This podcast is a great view into how her book is layered out, what it teaches and, not least, how understandable and sensible the information is.
The clear way she explains things is delightful to listen to. She is also a guest who really display authority through her science, demonstrated neatly as one of the few who make Andrew Huberman go quiet and into full listening mode 😀
