Here's part 2 of my interview with Lisa Feldman Barrett, where we talk about some of the consequences from the ideas in her book "How Emotions Are Made." We kick off this half of the interview with a question I was having difficulty with: how would learning emotional concepts in other languages help me connect with others more, when how I connect with others is primarily through being mindful, present, curious, and compassionate?

Dr. Barrett takes the conversation in an interesting direction, and offers me an answer that surprised me. We then get into Buddhism and Mindfulness, breaking down emotion into physical sensations, into Alexithymia, and then into the Glorious Circumplex. It's a really interesting talk, one that I was so very happy to have, and one that I loved putting together into this video here today. I hope you like it too.

This video series here is my attempt to really understand this Theory of Constructed Emotion. One thing I learned in Teacher's College was that the best way to learn something is to teach it, and - you know - I think I'm a lot more comfortable with these ideas now than before. But there's still a lot of the book that I didn't cover. If you're interested in Illness and Chronic Conditions, Animal Rights, or the Criminal System, Dr. Barrett applies her understanding of the brain and emotions in these areas, with really interesting conclusions that I won't cover in these videos. Check out her books "How Emotions Are Made" and "Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain".

Otherwise, if you found this interview interesting, it's my dream to do more of them with the authors that I'm reading, and I'd love your support on Patreon. Patrons get these videos ad-free, and a day in advance, along with the scripts as well.

If you'd like to talk about these ideas some more, we're discussing this book, and the other books I've covered, over on the Discord. We're recently getting more into looking at Alexithymia. Check it out!
