In Emotions Revealed he presents—clearly, vividly, and in the most accessible way—his fascinating observations about the overt or covert expressions of emotions we all encounter hundreds of times daily, but so often misunderstand or fail to sec. There has not been a book on this subject of such range and insight since Darwin’s famous Expression of the Emotions more than a century ago.”— Oliver Sacks, author of Uncle Tungsten”Paul Ekman is one of those rare thinkers who can connect what scientists have learned with what the rest of us wonder about in our everyday lives.

Sapolsky, professor of biology; Stanford University, and author ofWhy Zebras Don’t Get Ulcers”‘Paul Ekman is the master of emotional expression, and this is a masterful account of his field.
