" ... emotions are not universal but vary from 
culture to culture. They are not triggered; you 
create them. They emerge as a combination of the 
physical properties of your body, a flexible 
brain that wires itself to whatever environment 
it develops in, and your culture and upbringing.
...
"We are, I believe, in the midst of a revolution 
in our understanding of emotion, the mind and the 
brain – a revolution that may compel us to 
radically rethink our attitudes to mental and 
physical illness, our understanding of personal 
relationships, our approaches to raising 
children, and ultimately our view of ourselves."
