Emotions Revealed: Recognizing Faces and Feelings to Improve Communication and Emotional Life by Paul Ekman

4.0

This is an excellent psychology book. Ekman's style is personable and laid-back. By being completely honest about how much of his own research he is citing (and when he's referring to his own hunches), he retains academic transparency, and by clearly describing ways to recognize emotions in others, he imparts the beginning of a skill set everyone should know. I'm grateful that at least someone in psychology has managed to find a way to train people to learn a skill through psychology research, and I'm interested in his microexpressions training (which I'll probably complete once I can bring myself to spring $70 on it: http://face.paulekman.com/products.aspx).
