You experience yourself in the world in a specific way, and you have more control over that than you would think.
Emotions: Separating Fact from Fiction
Setup
Accumulating scientific evidence about emotion defies common sense, suggesting common beliefs about emotions have been in error for over 2,000 years. We’ll dispel three widespread fictions about emotions that lurk in classrooms, boardrooms, and bedrooms around the world. We’ll then explore a radically new scientific understanding of what emotions are and how they work. Stick around after the event for a book signing with Lisa Barrett.
