Product Description
This reprint edition of Ekman and Friesen's breakthrough research on the facial expression of emotion uses scores of photographs showing emotions of surprise, fear, disgust, anger, happiness, and sadness. The authors of UNMASKING THE FACE explain how to identify these basic emotions correctly and how to tell when people try to mask, simulate, or neutralize them. It features several practical exercises that help actors, teachers, salesmen, counselors, nurses, law-enforcement personnel and physicians -- and everyone else who deals with people -- to become adept, perceptive readers of the facial expressions of emotions. |

Satisfaction Prompt Service by Ralph Breccia Ralphie (Willingboro, New Jersey)  4 Stars
August 30, 2009
I was well satisfied with my purchase of Unmasking Faces. I play Poker and this book and others provid a small edge at the tables. The service was prompt and the book was in near perfect shape. I have used Smoky Mountain Book sellers before and am well satified with the books and the prompt service.

Book arrived clean and in good condition by R. Eally  5 Stars
June 25, 2009
The book arrived as specified, clean and in good condition. The subject is one of language, in this case unspoken language, of the type most often used among us. To stifle this function in an effort to remain conceited, would likely bring disastrous internal discord- which can again be read. Perhaps this book encourages us to be more forthcoming and friendly.

Well written, well researched by D. Tinucci 5 Stars
May 28, 2009
Very good book - Eckman is one of the leading researchers in non-verbal communication (40 years experience) and put together a splendid, easy to read resource for use by the normal layman, or psychology researcher. Photo blueprints of each emotion were carefully put together to supplement the easy to follow text and make deciphering the six emotions as easy as can be. Recommend to anyone and everyone as the research it provides can be used in all categories of life.

The Ultimate Guide for Reading Others by Vincent Harris (Trenton, MO USA) 5 Stars
April 01, 2009
I've been familiar with Ekmans work for several years now; I have found nothing else that even comes close to providing the reader with the knowledge they need to master the science of reading the emotions of others by decoding their facial expressions. Ekman is the king!
