Ever wonder why your heart races with anticipation or why a simple hug can calm your nerves? Prepare to unlock the mysteries of your emotional landscape with the theories of Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, author of How Emotions are Made, as we examine the complex world of constructed emotions. I am reading her book and I want to share some key concepts with you that will change your perspective on emotions.

We delve into the nuances of emotional granularity, exploring how a keen awareness of our micro emotions can prevent the depletion of our mental and physical resources.

If you want to rethink emotions, tune-in to today's episode!
