PRAISE
FOR
Emotions Revealed
"No one in the world has studied facial expressions as deeply as Paul Ekman. In Emotions
Revealedhe presents—clearly, vividly, and in the most accessible way—his fascinating obser-
vations about the overt or covert expressions of emotions we all encounter hundreds of times
daily, but so often misunderstand or fail to sec. There has not been a book on this subject
—Oliver Sacks, author of Uncle Tungsten
"Paul Ekman is one of those rare thinkers who can connect what scientists have learned with
what the rest of us wonder about in our everyday lives. If you read this book, you'll never look
at other people in quite the same way again. Emotions Revealed is a tour de force."
—Malcolm Gladwell, author of The Tipping Point
"Ever since Darwin, no one has contributed more to our understanding of how humans go
about communicating emotions than Paul Ekman. In this masterful overview, he reviews how
emotions are communicated, and the implications for topics ranging from mental health and
interpersonal relationships to law enforcement and violence. A fascinating and important
book."
— Robert M. Sapolsky, professor of biology; Stanford University, and author of

field. He even suggests how we can use findings about emotional expressions to guide and
improve our lives."

Synoptic Selfand 'The EmotionalBrain

A fascinating exploration of how
we interpret and experience
emotions—and how we can improve
our emotional skills—by a
pioneering psychologist
What triggers emotions? How docs our body
signal to others whether we are a bit down or
deeply anguished, peeved or enraged? Can
we learn to distinguish between a polite
smile and the genuine thing? Can we really
ever control our emotions? Renowned expert
in nonverbal communication Paul Ekman
has led a renaissance in our scientific under-
standing of emotions, addressing just these
questions. Now he assembles bis research
and theories in Emotions Revealed, a compre-
hensive look at human emotional life.
Drawing on Ekman's fieldwork investi-
gating universal facial expressions in the
United States, Japan, Brazil, and Papua New
Guinea; his analysis of the prognosis of hos-
pital patients based on their emotional atti-
tude; and dozens of other studies, Emotions
Revealed explores the evolutionary and be-
havioral essences of anger, sadness, fear, sur-
prise, disgust, contempt, and happiness. For
each emotion, Ekman describes the universal
themes that undergird our feelings, the auto-
matic reactions that unfold within microsec-
onds, and the actions that are actually under
our control.
Ekman then takes us on a visual tour of
each emotion's unique signals, exploring
some of the most subtle and easy-to-miss ex-
pressions that can signal when a person is
just beginning to feel an emotion or may be
trying to suppress it. Learning to identify
emotions in their early stages or when they
are masked can improve our communication
with people in a variety of situations both at
home and at work- and help us to manage
our own emotional responses.
