“An emotion is your brain’s creation of what your bodily sensations mean, in relation to what is going on around you in the world.”

I couldn't resist the opportunity. I had to speak with Lisa again about her field of work. And that is why this episode exists. Lisa is a Professor of Psychology and her book How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain is one of my favourite book of all time. A must read!

Why is this conversation so important? When we can understand how emotions are made we are better equipt to understand ourselves and I believe that is the brilliance of her research. Self-awareness or understanding is the key to unlocking suffering and moving towards a greater state of joy.

In this episode, we chat more on her research getting into some pretty interesting stuff on the construction of emotions, the difference between feelings and emotions, the implication they have to how we operate, how we can alter them, the thought behind "free will," and much more. You'll love it!

Please share your comments thoughts and questions below, or reach out directly to either myself of Lisa. Enjoy!
