54: Emotions Are Not What You Think (with Lisa Feldman Barrett )
What actually are \u201cemotions\u201d and how are they made? Lisa Feldman Barrett joins Igor and Charles to discuss what we\u2019ve got right and what we\u2019ve got completely wrong about the nature of our emotional lives. Igor grapples with the idea that red apples aren\u2019t necessarily red, Lisa shares that anger doesn\u2019t always look like anger, and Charles learns that a racing heartbeat can be interpreted in fundamentally different ways. Welcome to Episode 54.
Special Guest: Lisa Feldman Barrett.
