Book Reviews of Unmasking the Face: A Guide to Recognizing Emotions From Facial Expressions
Book Review: Amazing
Summary: 5 Stars
This book provides the basic tools for beginning to understand the body language of the face.
(Note: do not buy this for a Kindle, because it is graphics intensive and the Kindle has extremely poor image functionality.)
Like any book on body language, the skill is acquired through careful observation of people in the real world. But this book tells you where to look and what to look for. Having read it and just started playing with the flash cards, I find myself suddenly more observant of people's eyebrows, the wrinkles in their forehead, and their naso-labial wrinkles. Especially while watching movies, where there are lots of closeups and no taboo against staring closely at someone's face.
Book Review: About "Unmasking the face"
Summary: 5 Stars
This seems to be an excellent resource for someone who would like to study facial expressions or improve one's ability to recognize emotions by looking at faces. The text is not just a popular blurb but a fully scientifically backed and high-level textbook designed for a serious student. There are exercises, suggestions on how to overcome one's difficulties or shortcomings, lots of photographs of faces, detailed comments on how certain facial features reflect certain emotions, and so on. I am looking forward to studying everything this book has to offer. Worth every penny!Book Review: Well written, well researched
Summary: 5 Stars
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.Book Review: Excellent!

As an investigator, adding this education allows me to know what it is that has I have noticed in the past but didn't know what exactly I was seeing. The book is well written, easy to follow, has a great practice section, and leads you easily from one topic to the next. I'm really glad I bought it, small price to pay for an excellent education. Thank You Dr Ekman!Book Review: Excellent book to understand facial expressions of emotion

This book is an excellent source to learn about facial expressions of emotions. It is fun to read and it can be used to improve aspects of your life like communication with others, understand your body and facial expressions for an interview.. I sugguest to also use the METT and SETT software as a compliment if you are serious and passionated about this topic.
