Today's episode in a LIFE CHANGER!

Unlike you may have believed, your EMOTIONS like rage, joy, disgust, sadness, lust, and sorrow don't get tripped like triggers in certain spots in your brain, says the distinguished, pioneering neuroscientist Dr Feldman Barrett. Instead, our brain is a rapid prediction organ that responds to context, stimuli, and some genetic interplay.

This has huge implications for many things in our daily lives such as assessing the emotions of others; health and wellness including mental illness, especially for people suffering from anxiety, depression, and for physical ailments like chronic illness and pain; in the justice system and trials by jury; with regards to racism; in the actions of police, military and emergency responders; and even in our interaction with our pets.
