The New Neuroscience of Emotion
The new “Theory of Constructed Emotion” has turned what we know about emotion on its head. There are no universal emotions, rather emotions vary from culture to culture. They are not triggered, but created. They emerge as a combination of the physical properties of our bodies, a flexible brain that wires itself to whatever environment it develops in, and our culture and upbringing which provide that environment. Emotions emerge from predictions made by the brain to give our sensations meaning. This will have a profound effect on how we coach. My talk will summarize the Theory of Constructed Emotion and look at what it means for our social reality and emotional mastery. If there’s time, we’ll discuss what this new theory means for coaching.
