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. (Kirkus UK)
'You'll never look at people in quite the same way again. EMOTIONS
REVEALED is a tour de force' Malcolm Gladwell, bestselling author
of BLINK 'A fascinating and enormously helpful picture of our
emotional lives' John Cleese 'A charming, sound, sane map to the
world of emotions, the perfect guide' Daniel Goleman, author of
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. Using 40 years of groundbreaking research,
Paul Ekman explores why and when we become emotional and what
happens when we do - the external signs and facial expressions. So
much of what we communicate is non-verbal. In this very practical
book, Paul Ekman helps the reader to observe the underlying,
concealed emotions that we can observe in those around us, and
understand why our bodies react in the ways they do. EMOTIONS
REVEALED also helps the reader to identify why they might feel
'overly' emotional in some situations, and why some people wear
their heart on their sleeve whilst others manage to conceal their
feelings, even from those close to them. Chapters include 'When do
we get emotional?', 'Changing what we become emotional about' as
well as 'Anger', 'Fear', 'Surprise' and 'Happiness'. Most
importantly, it shows how we can apply this understanding to
everyday situations to improve our quality of life.
