Facial Resonance: Seeing Emotions. Understanding People

Non-violent communication is always about recognising feelings – both your own and those of others. This book by Dirk W. Eilert starts precisely there: with facial expressions. Nowhere are emotions more clearly visible than on the face, even when they flash across it for just a fraction of a second.

This richly illustrated book helps you to read both the obvious and the subtle facial expressions of those around you. You’ll learn to recognise and interpret facial expressions and micro-expressions, thereby gaining access to unconscious or suppressed emotions that would otherwise easily be lost in conversation.

Those who are better able to see how others are really feeling can also better gauge the impact of their own actions, whether at work or in their private lives. This makes collaboration more harmonious, strengthens trust and mutual respect, and, as an added bonus, sharpens your ability to tell whether someone is telling the truth.

The author, Dirk W. Eilert, has been working as a trainer, coach and speaker since 2001 and specialises in emotional coaching and non-verbal communication, particularly in recognising emotions through facial expressions and micro-expressions. He is an NLP trainer (DVNLP) and a wingwave trainer.
