<p>Being inspired can be a magnificent, invigorating feeling. But it's also one that we know surprisingly little about. Does it happen by chance? Are all forms of inspiration the same? Can we influence how and when we feel inspired?</p>

<p>These are searching questions, particularly for people who take on the responsibilities and challenges of leadership. Given the tumultuous state of the world today, effective leadership throughout our organizations and communities has never been more important. Equally though, there has also never been greater pressure on leaders to perform and to provide inspirational leadership for their people and teams.</p>

<p>If individuals are to step up and succeed in inspiring others, their first priority must be to discover the inspiration they need for themselves.&nbsp;The Inspired Leader&nbsp;helps them do just that. The book is based on extensive new research, conducted in association with Henley Business School, into the real life experiences of leaders from many different walks of life. Drawing on the latest behavioural science, Andy Bird explains how inspiration is actually experienced by people in positions of leadership. He also examines how they maintain it over time despite the many obstacles and challenges they face.</p>

<p>The result is a compelling collection of stories, insights and ideas which are accompanied by a thought-provoking set of personal development tools and reflective exercises. In combination,&nbsp;The Inspired Leader&nbsp;provides unrivalled support for anyone seeking their own path to a more inspired life as a leader.</p>

<p>How Emotions Are Made: The Secret Life Of The Brain</p>

<p>'How Emotions Are Made&nbsp;did what all great books do. It took a subject I thought I understood and turned my understanding upside down' - Malcolm Gladwell</p>

<p>When you feel anxious, angry, happy, or surprised, what's really going on inside of you?</p>

<p>Many scientists believe that emotions come from a specific part of the brain, triggered by the world around us. The thrill of seeing an old friend, the fear of losing someone we love - each of these sensations seems to arise automatically and uncontrollably from within us, finding expression on our faces and in our behaviour, carrying us away with the experience.</p>

<p>This understanding of emotion has been around since Plato. But what if it is wrong? In&nbsp;How Emotions Are Made, pioneering psychologist and neuroscientist Lisa Feldman Barrett draws on the latest scientific evidence to reveal that our common-sense ideas about emotions are dramatically, even dangerously, out of date - and that we have been paying the price. Emotions aren't universally pre-programmed in our brains and bodies; rather they are psychological experiences that each of us constructs based on our unique personal history, physiology and environment.</p>

<p>This new view of emotions has serious implications: when judges issue lesser sentences for crimes of passion, when police officers fire at threatening suspects, or when doctors choose between one diagnosis and another, they're all, in some way, relying on the ancient assumption that emotions are hardwired into our brains and bodies. Revising that conception of emotion isn't just good science, Barrett shows; it's vital to our well-being and the health of society itself.</p>
