“Emotions are not built-in but made from more basic parts. They 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, which provide that environment.' 20. Quoting Lisa Feldman Barrett, How Emotions are Made: The Secret Life of the Brain 2017, xii.” — Laura Otis
