Dr. Lisa Feldman Barrett takes us on a scientific adventure in 7-1/2 steps, inviting us to think about such important topics as: Are we rational creatures? If rationality is not the absence of emotion, what is it? Why does loneliness make people physically sick? And why do we create societies that grant individual rights and freedoms when the human nervous system having evolved to be biologically dependent on other humans? What does this mean for democracy? And most essentially, what kind of persons do we want to be? Registration closes one before this special event. Times in EST.
