This review of  "How Emotions Are "made" misses the point.  The reviewer criticizes Barrett for constructing a theoretical straw man - localized areas of the brain generating emotion - and then destroying it. This so called "straw man" encompasses most of the previous research on emotion. The reviewer criticizes Barrett's theory for making  emotion part of cognition. It's all connected. Each individual has one consciousness, so what's the criticism. The reviewer doesn't understand the "budgeting" argument. Our brain has a size limited by the size of the birth canal; our cognitive apparatus evolved from primates and early stage of humans competing for food and avoiding danger. Efficiency in the brain and cognitive connections (budgeting) made survival more probable.
