BECOME A HUMAN LIE DETECTOR !

The study of the works on Facial Expressions of Emotion by Paul Ekman and Charles Darwin and the study of Body Language based on the books of Allan and Barbara Pease.

The main thrust of this group is the book by Paul Ekman "Unmasking the Face" and also Charles Darwin's "The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals". With the help of "Unmasking the Face ", you will be able to improve your recognition of the facial clues to emotion, increase your ability to detect "facial deceit," and develop a keener awareness of the way your own face reflects your emotions. Charles Darwin will give insight into animal behaviour, including the animal know by Desmond Morris as "The Naked Ape". Oh, and by the way, have I mentioned the evolution of everything, including the amazing eye.

Starting in the spring of 2010 I will offer a study course in Paul Ekman's Facial Action Coding System. There is no charge to this course but a commitment of 3 hours a week of intense study with a meeting once every two weeks. It will take about six months to finish this course. This material is tedious and I suggest a study of 30 minutes a day in order to take it in small doses and fit it into a busy lifestyle. I will schedule in a break of a week here and there just like in school. IF you can do this you will know more about the human face than one person in 10,000. A tedious course with the most exciting rewards. Please contact me if interested. John Klug.

We also will be discussing "nonverbal communication" by examining the book "The Definitive Book of Body Language" by Allan and Barbara Pease.

Before joining this group please pause now and consider the answers to to these questions, Do you really want to know when others are telling you the truth? Are you really willing to look at a person's face?
Do you really want to know how your spouse actually feels, or would you prefer to know only what your spouse wants you to know?

Be warned. Once you learn this stuff you can't turn it off.
Is it possible to see and understand too much?
