The Facial Action Coding System (FACS)
The Facial Action Coding System (FACS) Manual is a detailed,
technical guide that explains how to categorize facial behaviors
based on the muscles that produce them, i.e., how muscular action
is related to facial appearances. It illustrates appearance changes
of the face using written descriptions, still images, and digital
video examples. Behavioral scientists, CG animators, computer
scientists interested in pattern recognition programs, and other
technicians and scientists use FACS in their professional work when
they need to know the exact movements that the face can perform,
and what muscles produce them. Working through the exercises of the
FACS Manual may also enable greater awareness of and sensitivity to
subtle facial behaviors that could be useful for psychotherapists,
interviewers, and other practitioners who must penetrate deeply
into interpersonal communications. Purchase the manual here.
The Comprehensive Affect Testing System
The Comprehensive Affect Testing System using Ekman's faces is an emotion processing test available in 7 languages. The use of Ekman's faces, shown to be cross-culturally valid makes this test a unique tool for neurologists, neuropsychologists, rehabilitation therapists, and other professionals to identify deficits associated with nonverbal communication, e.g. autism/Asperger's syndrome, dementia, brain trauma, to name a few.

Daniel Goleman : Social Intelligence
Our reactions to others, and theirs to us, have a far-reaching
biological impact, sending out cascades of hormones that regulate
everything from our hearts to our immune systems, making good
relationships act like vitamins-and bad relationships like poisons.
We can "catch" other people's emotions the way we catch a cold, and
the consequences of isolation or relentless social stress can be
life-shortening. Goleman explains the surprising accuracy of first
impressions, the basis of charisma and emotional power, the
complexity of sexual attraction, and how we detect lies. He
describes the "dark side" of social intelligence, from narcissism
to Machiavellianism and psychopathy. He also reveals our
astonishing capacity for "mindsight," as well as the tragedy of
those, like autistic children, whose mindsight is impaired.

Emotional Intelligence
Everyone knows that high IQ is no guarantee of success, happiness,
or virtue, but until Emotional Intelligence, we could only guess
why. Daniel Goleman's brilliant report from the frontiers of
psychology and neuroscience offers startling new insight into our
"two minds"-the rational and the emotional-and how they together
shape our destiny.
Through vivid examples, Goleman delineates the five crucial skills
of emotional intelligence, and shows how they determine our success
in relationships, work, and even our physical well-being. What
emerges is an entirely new way to talk about being smart. Available

BLINK
In BLINK, Malcolm Gladwell revolutionizes the way we understand
the world within. How do we make decisions-good and bad-and why are
some people so much better at it than others? That's the question
Gladwell asks and answers in BLINK. Drawing on cutting-edge
neuroscience and psychology, examining case studies as diverse as
speed dating, pop music, and the New Coke, Gladwell shows how the
difference between good decision making and bad has nothing to do
with how much information we can process quickly, but rather with
the few particular details on which we focus. BLINK displays all of
the brilliance that has made Malcolm Gladwell's journalism so
popular and his books such perennial bestsellers as it reveals how
all of us can become better decision makers-in our homes, our
offices, and in everyday life. Available at amazon.com
THE TIPPING POINT
The Tipping Point is that magical moment when an idea, trend, or
social behaviour crosses a threshhold, tips, and spreads like
wildfire. Just as a sick individual in a crowded store can start
can epidemic of the flu, so too can a small but precisely targeted
push cause a fashion trend or the popularity of a new restaurant to
take off overnightor crime or drug use to taper off. Gladwell has
explored this theory to great acclaim in several articles in The
New Yorker. Here, he shows how very minor adjustments in products
and ideas can make them more likely to become hugely popular. He
reveals how east it is to cause group behaviour to tip in a
desirable direction by making small changes in our immediate
environment. The Tipping Point contains a profoundly hopeful idea
that people will embrace for its sense and simplicity: one
imaginative person, applying a well-placed lever, can move the
world. Examples are recognizable: in the New York subways, removing
graffiti caused a dramatic reduction in crime; a specific hip group
of teenagers wore Hush Puppies and suddenly sparked a national
craze. This is a book that should be read by everyone in business,
politics, marketing, advertising, and anyone interested in trends,
fashion, fads, policy making, and human behaviour. In other words,
all of us. Available at amazon.com
