Diary of a Human Lie Detector: Facial Expressions in Love, Lust, and Lies Paperback – 12 Sept. 2023

I needed this book years ago. Its a tool to learn facial patterns. Its got a lot of love poems throughout which I usually enjoy but I had a recent break up with a long term partner so it was impossible to get thru without crying and remembering our tender moments. I still give 5 stars because that's not the authors problem.

Interesting book

This book is full of fascinating and scientifically-proven content that everyone will appreciate.Wonder if he likes you or is lying to you? Learn how to detect emotion in others by interpreting facial expressions --- which, by the way, is a cross-cultural phenomenon, since people of all colors and cultures across the globe produce the same mini movements across their face when feeling the same emotion.My favorite part of the book is the "Guess the Expression" part, where images of the author's face are shown so the reader can guess what she's feeling in that moment.A great purchase, you'll be glad you bought it.

I tried hard to like it but could not go past the first 30 pages..

Alternating between sharing profound wisdom and joyfully (sometimes painfully) reflecting on a life filled with moments that might seem eerily familiar to anyone who has dared to live life on its emotional and practical edge, this book is mesmerizing. Part poetry, part autobiography, part "training manual," it offers you a fascinating introduction to how life can be understood through (small) expressions on people's faces. By using her own life as the book's narrative arc, the author opens an intimate, sometimes raw, heart-on-your-sleeve window that helps us understand and grapple with truly human phenomena such as love, loss, and when, how and why people sometimes are just so very people-y.

This book is amazing! I loved it! It teaches real how to recognize micro-expressions in other people and what they mean. These skills are so incredibly helpful in personal (especially romantic) interactions, and particularly helpful in business situations. The photos and tags make it really easy to learn, and the beautiful, personal stories from the author show real life applications. You will LOVE this book!!! Also a perfect gift to give for any friends or business colleagues.
