Status Updates From How Emotions Are Made: The ...

While it's a pop-science book aimed at a normie crowd with no prior knowledge of psychology, a lot of the concepts explained by Barrett are drawn out to the point of the casual reader getting lost along the way.
Many points could have been made shorter and more concise. After a certain point, the book turns into a yapfest.
That being said, I enjoyed the majority of the analogies used by Barrett in the book.

The relationship between emotions and illness (both mental and physical) is not surprising to me by far (as I have been reading Dr. Barrett's research for a while now). What surprised me in this chapter is the idea with autism as a constant failure in prediction and lack of categorization system. Another interesting idea is the vicious connection between emotions and chronic vs. acute pain.
