Emotions Revealed, Second Edition: Recognizing Faces And Feelings To Improve Communication And Emotional Life

This updated second edition explores the evolutionary origins, physiological cues, and visual expressions of core human emotions, including anger, fear, disgust, sadness, and happiness. Grounded in decades of empirical research and the development of the Facial Action Coding System, the text provides a practical, highly visual approach to understanding nonverbal communication. Readers will find detailed photographs and real-world exercises designed to help identify fleeting micro-expressions in everyday interactions with family, colleagues, and strangers. The guide also examines critical aspects of emotional self-regulation, techniques for distinguishing authentic feelings from simulated ones, and the connection between micro-expressions and deception.
