the book that made me want to be a neuropyschologist for a good amount of time. the way Lisa found herself, her way to choose this very specific, untouched, large subject to research on and had her whole laboratory-from monkeys to humans- (not your usual science lab!) work on it is truly what i always wanted to do. even though i haven't fully grasped on the scientific terms when i first read it, it has changed my way of thinking a lot. it completely cleared the classic concept of 'emotions' from my mind and put something way more complicated instead of it. i struggle explaining people why emotions were made by people and that there aren't just 4 or 5 of them around. so this book is a nice standing point for me. ofc it's hard to put something that's pages long in a single paragraph, so im just gonna say i will read it once more, maybe adding up my experiences from med school, and maybe see if some of these researches are still scientifically valid. (since this book was written in 2017, i'm sure A LOT has changed!)
