There are certain books/articles/movies/comics/etc. that I find I often refer back to for specific ideas. It’s important to cite your sources[citation needed], so I’ll try to document some of them here.
How Emotions are Mademore...
How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain by Lisa Feldman Barrett (henceforth HEAM and LFB). This is a book that really changed how I perceive my experience of the world, and some of the concepts from it really seem to support concepts from other books that have made a big impression on me.
The Primal Teenmore...
The Primal Teen: What The New Discoveries About The Teenage Brain Tell Us About Our Kids by Barbara Strauch. I read this when I was too young (i.e. a teenager), and it messed me up pretty bad.
