Listen to the podcast on Soundcloud or on your favorite podcast platform

We speak with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, professor of psychology at Northeastern University. Dr. Barrett is one of the top 1% most cited scientists in the world, and the author of two acclaimed books on the brain: How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life Of The Brain, and Seven And A Half Lessons About The Brain.  Her research examines emotion, behavior, and how the brain creates both.

During our conversation we learned: 

-How we can practice emotions

-How our past experiences help shape our future perceptions

-What are brains are actually for (hint: it’s not thinking!)

-Which mental and emotional experiences are universal, and which are not (the answers might surprise you)

-What you can do to improve your decision-making right here, right now
