Description
Emotions are often seen as an obstacle to effective communication, but what if they're actually the primary language we use to connect with others?
According to evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber, emotional expressions evolved over billions of years to help social animals communicate more effectively. This groundbreaking theory reveals that emotions are not just internal states, but also a fundamental means of communication that allows us to engage in sophisticated negotiations and interactions.
Expressly Human offers a new perspective on human communication, showing how the range of emotional expressions evolved and providing a key to understanding our most important language. By exploring this idea, you'll gain a fresh insight into every social interaction, from everyday conversations to complex business dealings.
