The authors of Unmasking the Face explain how to identify basic emotions such as fear, anger, happiness, and sadness and talk about how to tell when people try to mask or simulate them. The main point and the theme of this book is to teach you how to recognize different facial expressions and increase your ability to tell when someone is masking or hiding them and develop an awareness of the way your own face reflects your emotions. This book describes what these emotions look like when expressed on the face and what they feel like when you experience them.
This book could be very helpful for people who work with others constantly such as a teacher, lawyer, personnel manager, therapist, or physician. It is important for them to know how people experience emotions, whether they can trust someone or not and what importance their own facial expressions have while doing their jobs. This book had a big impact on my life. It showed me that people may not be the person that they display to the world. Just because someone is smiling doesn’t mean they are truly happy or if someone is crying it doesn’t always mean their upset or that something is wrong. People express their emotions differently or

This quote is meaningful to me because I would like to become an elementary school teacher. This book can help me determine when students are understanding my lessons and when they are not and I need to review a lesson in depth. Interest, concentration, and perplexity are all shown on the face. Understanding emotions is very crucial to success in many professions. It is very important to be aware of the effect your own facial expressions could have on others or yourself in a profession. Many mistakes are made in understanding facial expressions of emotion because the face provides more than one signal to convey more than one kind of

I think that the messages this book displays are important for anyone to think about, and apply to their lives every day.
This book was brilliant. There were moments that made me laugh, moments that made me tremble in my chair, moments that made me cry, moments that melted my heart, and moments that made me want to rip my hair out at the roots. This book has it all, and it delivers it through a cold but much needed message.
I loved this book, it is so incredibly moving and you want to cry and

I always looked at death as such a sad thing that is eventually going to occur to everyone. However, after reading this book, it made me realize death can actually be a beautiful thing. Death allows a person to go to a next life, one where they will be loved and others will be there for them. It was interesting to be able to read about stories that these hospice care workers witnessed themselves. I have experienced a few deaths within my life and I never coped with them very well. After reading this book, I honestly believe I will be able to look at the positive side of death and be able to deal with my emotions better. I can also help others surrounding me deal with a death that they are experiencing. This book was filled with information that I loved learning. For example, I never knew that a dying person can choose a time to die. The thought of this never occurred to me before. I always thought that when it was someone’s time to go, they had no choice. But, a dying person can “put off” passing on until they see a certain person or event that has great significance in their life. Nevertheless, there are still people who will wait to die until they’re all alone in the room. This book makes you think of real life situations and think what you would do in them. Taken as a whole, it was a very in depth book that changes the way you would naturally perceive
The first section explores the “flat-brain theory of emotions, flat-brain syndrome, and flat-brain tango” (Petersen, 2007, pp. 2-45). All three are interrelated (Petersen, 2007). The flat-brain theory of emotions “demonstrates what’s occurring inside of us when things are going well, and how that changes when they are not” (Petersen, 2007, p. 11). Petersen’s (2007) theory “explains how our emotions, thinking, and relating abilities work and how what goes on inside us comes out in the ways we communicate and act” (p. 8). The “flat-brain syndrome” describes what happens when an individual wears their emotions on their sleeve. This “makes it
While communicating with another human being, one only has to examine the other’s face in order to comprehend what is being said on a much deeper level. It is said that up to 55 percent of a message’s meaning can be derived from facial expression (Subramani, 2010). These facial manipulations allow thoughts to be expressed in ways that are often difficult to articulate verbally, with the face demonstrating “the thoughts of the mind, and the feelings of the heart” (Singla). Many expressions are said to universal, particularly those showing happiness, sadness, fear, anger, disgust, and...
This is an odd little book, but a very important one nonetheless. The story it tells is something like an extended parablethe style is plain, the characters are nearly stick figures, the story itself is contrived. And yet ... and yet, the story is powerful, distressing, even heartbreaking because the historical trend it describes is powerful, distressing, even heartbreaking.
...f your emotions. Your ability to recognize and manage your own emotions can increase your ability to recognize another’s emotions and what part these emotions may be playing in the conflict.
Altogether, this is a book to be read thoughtfully and more than once. It is about an unusually sensitive and intelligent boy; but, then, are not all boys unusual and worthy of understanding? If they are bewildered at the complexity of modern life, unsure of themselves, shocked by the spectacle of perversity and evil around them - are not adults equally shocked by the knowledge that even children cannot escape this contact and awareness? & nbsp;
This book actually impacted my view on life a bit. Life is a fragile gift and this book made me wonder if I am using my time in all the wrong ways. We should all work to be using our days as best we can and try to be happy regardless of our sadness. As we all know that’s not as simple as it sounds, which makes the strength of Hazel and Augustus extremely inspiring and even eye-opening. When I compare myself to these two characters I hope I can be more like them.
Emotions play a significant part in our daily lives, especially to our overall wellbeing whenever we share these experiences with other people. The ability to express and interpret emotions is an important skill that everyone can improve on that would greatly benefit their interpersonal communication. Our expressions accompany our emotions; they serve as windows that allow other people to know what we are feeling inside. There are several factors that influence how we communicate our feelings.
Emotional Intelligence is very vital to our social kills and how we react to certain situations. According to (Social Learning Theory: How Close Is Too Close, 2017), emotional intelligence includes elements of social intelligence, self-awareness, and self-regulation of emotions. Our emotional intelligence impacts how we interact with family, friends, and co-workers. People’s emotions are often triggered by situations that they have no control and they begin to feel stressed or hopeless. According to (Hurley, 2002) emotions are automatic responses that are prompted by what occurring in the environment that causes our bodies to react very quickly. In this essay, I will be discussing how we can be “in check” with our emotions, how to manage our
