Lisa Feldman Barrett Poradie kníh (chronologicky)

Premýšľali ste už niekedy nad tým, načo vlastne máme mozog? Známa neurovedkyňa Lisa Feldman Barrett prináša nielen prekvapivú odpoveď na túto otázku, ale aj najnovšie poznatky neurovedeckého výskumu. V siedmich krátkych kapitolách a jednej polkapitole o evolúcii mozgu si tentoraz posvietila na tajomný orgán, ktorý leží hlboko v ľudskej lebke. Dozviete sa, ako mozog vznikol, akú má stavbu (a prečo na tej stavbe záleží) a ako váš mozog v spolupráci s inými mozgami vytvára všetko, čo prežívate. Zistíte, že rozšírené mýty o súboji racionálneho myslenia s emóciami, ako aj medzi prírodou a výchovou sú dnes už prekonané a že to, aký typ človeka ste alebo chcete byť, máte vo svojich rukách (pardon, v najzložitejšom a najvýznamnejšom orgáne ľudského tela).

In How Your Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our ideas about emotion are dramatically out of date. Emotions don't exist objectively in nature and they aren't pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather, they are psychological experiences that we construct based on our unique personal history.

Preeminent psychologist Lisa Barrett lays out how the brain constructs emotions in a way that could revolutionize psychology, health care, the legal system, and our understanding of the human mind.
