Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain offers a short, witty primer on how brains work, while How Emotions Are Made overturns what many assume about feelings. Together they form a compelling introduction to modern brain science, ideal for students, professionals, or anyone curious about the mind and emotions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSeven and a Half Lessons About the Brain distils decades of neuroscience into seven short, entertaining chapters, plus a bonus half-lesson on brain evolution. Barrett dismantles popular myths — including the idea of a primitive \"lizard brain\" and the notion that thoughts and emotions are separate systems — replacing them with a clear picture of how brains are built and how they interact to create shared human experience. It's designed to be read in a single sitting, yet leaves readers with a genuinely updated view of neuroscience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow Emotions Are Made tackles a bigger question: where do feelings actually come from? Barrett argues, against the long-standing \"classical\" view, that emotions are not hardwired reactions fired from dedicated brain regions but are constructed in the moment, drawing on past experience, context, and prediction. Backed by research from Barrett's own laboratory and the field of affective science, the book has reshaped conversations in psychology, medicine, education, and law about what emotions are, and how they can be understood and taught.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo complete paperbacks from a globally recognised neuroscientist, sold as a matching new set\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSeven and a Half Lessons offers a quick, jargon-free entry point into brain science\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHow Emotions Are Made provides a deeper, paradigm-shifting look at emotional theory\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for psychology students, teachers, therapists, and general science readers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact paperback format, easy to read, carry, and share\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA thoughtful gift for anyone interested in the mind, brain, or emotional wellbeing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nLisa Feldman Barrett is a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, with appointments at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.
