Cultivating Wisdom: The Power Of Mood | Lisa Feldman Barrett | TEDxCambridge
Do you believe that what you see influences how you feel? Actually, the opposite is true: What you feel - your "affect" - influences what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. Psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett shares the groundbreaking discovery that you experience the world through affect-colored glasses. She also reveals how affect can be a source of wisdom that helps you to make better, wiser choices. Learn more at www.tedxcambridge.com Lisa Feldman Barrett is a University Distinguished Professor of Psychology at Northeastern University, with positions in psychiatry and radiology at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School. She has published over 200 peer-reviewed research papers in top journals on emotion, psychology, and neuroscience. Her research teams span the globe, studying people in the West, the East, and remote parts of Africa. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

“if we were less suspicious of each other, and we were more suspicious of our own certainty...maybe our democracy would be more healthier.” I love this the most. Thank you for your wisdom :)

@@SteveA61172 yes, ideally, but even if it's one sided, at least that cuts the bigotry in half and maybe the other side can acknowledge some credit for that effort, possibly improving the chances of more meaningful progress. I also think it's better for one side to start even if the other party isn't budging and break the stalemate. Better to try something to improve the situation than be stuck.
Great talk. The key is self-regulation. You can't control your first reaction (affect) but you can control your second one.
I sped playback up to 1.25 and it has transformed that clacking mic sound totally. Recommend.

Its 2024, january … What excellent speech, the best in you tube and Teds talk. the world and each of us can benefit with science wisdom in a wise scientist: Lisa Feldman Barrett 🎉
"... forged in the fire of affect." What an eye opening statement!
This talk is very informative. Early Buddhist meditation takes affect very seriously by making the connection between affect and sensation explicit with respect to consciousness as pleasant or unpleasant. Hearing about this relationship in terms of a body budget gives me something to reflect on when it comes to abiding calm and clear comprehension.
She's gonna be up for a Nobel Prize soon.
Nice talk. Regular Meditation helps us to use Affect to our advantage.
Absolutely brilliant!
Worth watching, informative and wise talk, thank you.

Very interesting speech, I have never looked at moods in the sense of body regulation. I’m curious if this applies to people with mood disorders as well. Also, if you apply our deep belief about “the truth” to our negative thoughts (i am not safe) it quickly becomes (the world is not safe.) Love the idea of challenging certainty with curiosity in this aspect. Questing if perhaps the world is safe and my affect is distorting my view.
Fabulous!!! (and the essence of what we do at ReThink -- ReThink affect! -- to get better at recognizing and interpreting which helps you understand how to leverage it in the service of your goals!) THANKS LISA!! Your work is a big part of ReThink!

You have to get better at microphones, this is the second great TEDx talk with technical microphone issues. Maybe do better soundchecks before and maybe put a filter on the speakers voice perhaps a gate....
The final practical message of taking deep breaths and make a pause reminds me of some eastern philosophy and approaches
"Thoughts become perception, perception becomes reality. Alter your thoughts, alter your reality." William James Think about it. Some people feel threatened when they're not threatened at all, why is this? Something occuring or what they're thinking is reminding them about a past experience that had a negative outcome. They are now thinking the present situation will have the same outcome so they feel threatened, most often you fear nothing but your own thoughts, and your feelings influence your thoughts as well as your thoughts influencing your feelings. Feelings are conscious choices. When living in the moment the past and present don't interfere and you see things as what they actually are, when not thinking you are not believing your fixated perceptions.
We can behave far better than most of us are taught.
what about states such as envy or jealousy? Do we construct those too? And going back to her military analogy, what about PTSD - is that constructed by the brain?
Loved the talk...but where does spontaneity fit in? :-)

Not to let your past learning go away,but be ready to learn something new- may be that can make you prediction more accurate
I actually feel more hopeful. The feeling of dread between sleep and awakening is very disturbing. I am bipolar and now on medication. But the knowledge that we believe what we feel is helpful in understanding my past and myself. Thank you.

It's not just about anger, but affect in general. It equally applies to "rose tinted glasses".
Was Nadella of Microsoft is in the audience? at 17:00 , his expression for "obviously foolishness" term usage is so good... Very informative. I feel (!) the main challenge in adoption is with the clock cycle difference between the System1 and System2. If Affect uses System1 and awareness uses System2 it is cognitively inefficient to use System2 for all our choices. Deliberate practice would take several repeations to unlearn and replace the prior affect reactions. Any easy way out?

Affect is your basic feeling, or mood.
you believe what you feel,but were problems begin is when you believe what you think,,,and run with a story that is not even true,,there are so many crazy thinking people with that mindset,,,,,

This “discovery” of mood as co-constitutive of experience is announced by Heidegger in 1927 in chapt 5 of “Being and Time” as “befindluchkeit” Only he did not fall into materialist reductionism of attributing creative agency to the aspect of anatomy we call “brain.” Smart lady with little forehead, no crown, and little heart.

We try our best to control for nervousness. She may have had coffee or or other dehydrating foods before her talk and then when it came time to talk her body went into nervous mode. "A dry mouth can occur when the salivary glands in your mouth don't produce enough saliva. This is often the result of dehydration, which means you don't have enough fluid in your body to produce the saliva you need. It's also common for your mouth to become dry if you're feeling anxious or nervous." If people take flax seed oil or MCT oil before speaking, it helps.

Some good info, however.... By what your saying Ms Barret, it sounds as if you're "affect" is: There is no such thing as truth. 2+2 will always equal 4---Never will it be anything you "think" it should be. It's the exact reason you trust the plane you're getting in, ready to fly over the Atlantic or anywhere else for that matter. That plane is built on precise mathematical facts. It's the pilot that "affects" me.
