“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.

Summary: An intriguing look at our faces and emotions
Comment: In Emotions Revealed, Ekman discusses how a person's face can be "read" to determine what kind of emotions s/he is feeling. The author then proceeds to focus on emotions such as contempt, disgust, sadness, happiness, and anger. In each chapter he has a model who shows different expressions. He explains in great detail how to read the facial expressions as well as what they seem to mean. He also has an exercise that people can do to use facial expressions to invoke feelings. Overall, it's a fascinating read, which shows how much the face is integral to feeling emotion as well as expressing it. At times, the book is dry and can be a bit of a slog to read through, but Ekman does a fairly comprehensive job of explaining the subject. I'm already eager to see how I can apply the concepts in my everyday communication.

Summary: Interesting, If Occassionally Obvious
Comment: Our emotions are the music of our life; the better we understand them the better we can understand and appreciate our symphony--instead of just being overwhelmed. Paul Ekman has done more research on emotions than just about anyone. His insights let us notice things that might otherwise seem too obvious. But occasionally he dwells a bit too long on the obvious. Still recommended.
Ideally, I'd rate this 4.5, but with only one other review at this writing I need to balance it with a 5.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Just enough to make you dangerous
Comment: This book is very well written. It's not a difficult read, and it's packed with content. At the end of each chapter, the author provides a brief description of how to detect emotions in others and be aware of them in yourself. I bought it for more of the former function, but can now see the utility of being more self-aware.
