''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.

Ekman and Friesen''s breakthrough research on the facial expression of emotion is richly illustrated with photographs depicting surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness and sadness. The authors explain how to identify these basic emotions correctly and how to tell when people try to mask, simulate or neutralize them. The book features several practical exercises that can help actors, teachers, salesmen, counselors, nurses, law-enforcement personnel and physicians - and everyone else who deals with people - become adept, perceptive readers of the facial expressions of emotions.

Vreţi să aflaţi prin ce diferă un zâmbet fericit de un surâs forţat? Doriţi să ştiţi ce sentimente ascunde copilul, partenerul sau şeful dumneavoastră? După decenii de cercetări ale emoţiilor şi expresiilor faciale, Paul Ekman şi-a sintetizat rezultatele în această carte, care combină excelent informaţiile ştiinţifice cu sugestiile practice. Psihologul american explică originea şi modurile de manifestare ale principalelor emoţii umane (furie, dezgust, tristeţe, bucurie, frică, surpriză) şi oferă instrumente utile pentru mai buna comunicare în familie şi la serviciu. Cartea include fotografii a zeci de chipuri ce acoperă bogatul evantai al afectivităţii umane.Emoţiile ne salvează viaţa, dar pot s-o şi distrugă. Ne împing să acţionăm aparent rezonabil, dar şi în moduri pe care ajungem să le regretăm. Scopul meu este acela de a-i ajuta pe cititori să-şi înţeleagă şi să-şi îmbunătăţească viaţa emoţională. Mă uimeşte că, până foarte de curând, oamenii de ştiinţă, precum şi nespecialiştii au ştiut foarte puţine lucruri despre emoţii, deşi ele joacă un rol esenţial în viaţa fiecăruia. -- Paul EkmanOricine va citi cartea Emoţii date pe faţă va deveni mai inteligent în privinţa vieţii sale afective. Aveţi aici ghidul perfect: vi se oferă o hartă fermecătoare, echilibrată şi bine chibzuită a universului emoţiilor umane. -- Daniel GolemanPaul Ekman este profesor de psihologie la University of California Medical School în San Francisco şi specialist în problema expresiei emoţiilor şi a minciunii, autor a numeroase cărţi pe aceste teme.
