Seven and a Half Lessons About the Brain — short, clear, surprising

In seven short essays (plus a bite-sized story about how brains evolved), Lisa Feldman Barrett condenses decades of research into a slim, entertaining read. This book is excellent for readers who want an accessible introduction to core neuroscience ideas without jargon. You’ll learn where brains came from, how they’re structured (and why that matters), and how individual brains interact to create shared experience. Barrett also dismantles persistent myths — from the "lizard brain" to the false dichotomy between thoughts and emotions — making complex science easy to apply in everyday life.

How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain — a paradigm-shifting exploration

In this groundbreaking book, Barrett challenges the centuries-old notion that emotions are fixed, automatic reactions triggered by specific regions of the brain. Drawing on the latest experiments and clinical findings, she argues that emotions are constructed by the brain using past experience, context, and prediction. Clear, evidence-based, and richly argued, this volume has influenced psychologists, educators, and clinicians who want to rethink emotional development, classroom practice, and mental health approaches.
