From publisher
“A tour de force. If you read this book, you’ll never look at other people in quite the same way again.”- Malcolm Gladwell Renowned psychologist Paul Ekman explains the roots of our emotions - anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and happiness - and shows how they cascade across our faces, providing clear signals to those who can identify the clues. As featured in Malcolm Gladwell’s bestseller Blink, Ekman’s Facial Action Coding System offers intense training in recognizing feelings in spouses, children, colleagues, even strangers on the street.
In Emotions Revealed, Ekman distills decades of research into a practical, mind-opening, and life-changing guide to reading the emotions of those around us. He answers such questions as: How does our body signal to others whether we are slightly sad or anguished, peeved or enraged? Can we learn to distinguish between a polite smile and the genuine thing? Can we ever truly control our emotions? Packed with unique exercises and photographs, and a new chapter on emotions and lying that encompasses security and terrorism as well as gut decisions, Emotions Revealed is an indispensable resource for navigating our emotional world.

Emotions are a universal experience; every human being, from Angola to Aberdeen, regularly experiences emotion. Emotions add colour as well as confusion to our lives; they create the most powerful experiences we have, and they seem, for the most part, absolutely out of our control. Yet they are vital in our day-to-day living; we can subconsciously judge any situation by the emotions of those involved, and by how these emotions manifest themselves in the body. For this book, Paul Ekman has photographed a whole range of bodily and facial expressions, and he explains what each one is, and by what subtle physiology they are formed. But how are they caused? What happens in the body to make them? Is it possible to control or manipulate our emotions, and the effects they have on ourselves, and others? How do you tell if an emotion is 'false'? Ekman offers insights that are practical as well as enthralling; we can't eliminate our emotions but with this book we can learn how to make our emotions work more in our favour. Ekman is a world-renowned psychologist and expert on non-verbal communication, and this remarkable investigation of the human condition is the result of 40 years of cutting-edge research. A brilliant and gripping read. |

Reviews are just starting to come in: 'Here Paul Ekman doyen of contemporary emotion researchers, turns to the practical management of emotion in everyday life. The result is an outstanding example of popular scientific writing.'NEW SCIENTIST 'There are some fascinating titbits along the way. I was struck by his suggestion thatwhile emotions are vital tools for dealing with the outside world, moods area destructive by-product and that we'd be better off without them. Ekman canbe riveting on the minutae of facial expressions, especially the way that anexpression can be observed even when an emotion is being half-felt or suppressed. |
