Today, however, the science of emotion is in the midst of a revolution on par with the discovery of relativity in physics and natural selection in biology-and this paradigm shift has far-reaching implications for us all. Scientists have long supported this assumption by claiming that emotions are hardwired in the body or the brain. Emotions feel automatic, like uncontrollable reactions to things we think and experience. Summary: "A new theory of how the brain constructs emotions that could revolutionize psychology, health care, the legal system, and our understanding of the human mind. ![]() ![]() ![]() From that point on, Callahan is no longer able to step into a church, feeling the same effect vampires do when before a cross.
