111. Feeling is believing, featuring Lisa Feldman Barrett

You know those days when you just feel off, and it permeates into everything you do and touch? Psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett explains how we experience the world through “affect-colored glasses” - rather, what we feel (our “affect”) actually changes what we experience and how we respond to the world around us. The question is, how do we use our “affect” to our advantage, rather than let it take over in the heat of the moment? Watch the full clip here, and for more info about Lisa Feldman Barrett, here’s her website. Check out her book, How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain, at https://amzn.to/37hWRWA.
