Mastering Your Emotions with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett
In this episode, Joe sits down with Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett, a leading neuroscientist and author of How Emotions Are Made, to explore groundbreaking insights on how emotions are formed and how we can better understand and regulate them. Together, they dive deep into the science behind emotions, how the brain predicts our feelings, and how we can gain more emotional agency in our personal and professional lives. Joe and Dr. Barrett cover:
- The theory of constructed emotions and how emotions are predictions, not reactions
- The role of the brain in regulating the body and how it shapes emotional experiences
- Why uncertainty feels like anxiety—and how to reframe it
- How emotional granularity can help us build better emotional vocabulary and control
- Practical steps to improve emotional regulation and decision-making
