Description
This Emotion Primer starts with a little introduction and it has 7 sections– each dealing with an important aspect about what makes emotion special.
1. The first section defines an emotion from our perspective. This is so important because in our experience, most debates and arguments about emotion occur because of differences in people‘s definitions of emotion and we think it’s always important to let people know what our definition of emotion is.
2. The second section describes the various types of emotions that exist and focuses on basic emotions. Research over the past half century plus has shown that basic emotions have features that other emotions don’t have. Now, humans have a lot of different emotions and some people have suggested that we don’t believe that other emotions are emotions. Of course we do! It’s just that basic emotions are a special class or category of emotion.
3. The third section talks about those features of basic emotions that distinguish them from other types of emotion. Remember, these features have been demonstrated in decades of research.
4. The fourth section talks about the differences between emotions and feelings. This is important because many people confuse them and use those terms interchangeably in our everyday lives.
5. The fifth section is on our affective world and distinguishes emotions from other phenomena that are emotional, like moods, personalities, and psychopathologies. This is also important because many of us don’t distinguish between emotion and other affective phenomena.
6. The sixth section lists the elicitors and functions of each of the seven basic emotions. This section is really important to understand the differences among them and to gain an appreciation of why emotions were important in the history of humans and in our every day lives today.
7. The seventh section has examples of each of the seven universal facial expressions along with a summary listing of the points that are mentioned in the other sections.
8. At the end, there’s a QR code that you can also scan and that leads you to a place on our website where we have all kinds of additional readings, blogs, and videos about emotions that we’ve done in the past. This section should round out this program well with additional insights and examples.
If you put it all together, there’s a lot of information about emotions that start with this little primer and then point us in different directions.
In the end, this primer is not a novel or a long and boring scientific treatise, but it does have very quick descriptions of the most important aspects of emotions.
This is exactly the same kind of information that anyone who wants to improve their knowledge and understanding of emotion should access.

This book provides a concise summary of the relationship between emotions and facial expressions, making it very easy to read. In particular, the section on pages 15-21, which introduces the relationship between seven universally recognized emotions and their corresponding facial expressions, is especially noteworthy. Each expression is presented with three different photos, allowing readers to understand the subtle variations of the same expression. Additionally, the book succinctly summarizes the characteristics of emotions, providing valuable insights into how emotions can be utilized in real-life communication by observing others’ facial expressions. For those who haven’t read it yet, I highly recommend reading this book repeatedly to fully absorb its content and enhance your communication skills.
If you are looking for a great book on emotional primers and the expressions that come with them, look no further. This book provides a brief, clear, and structured explanation of what emotions are and the different types of them along with other psychological constructs related to emotions. One of the most valuable aspects of this book, in my opinion, is the breakdown of the seven basic emotions, their elicitors, and their functions, helping readers appreciate their evolutionary and everyday significance. The writer, David Matsumoto, provides a wealth of information based on his years of scientific research and study in a short and comprehensive visual guidebook with practical insights that can be easily understood by people of all ages.

WOW WOW WOW! This is perfect. Clear and concise.
My only question is what kind of discount can I get for bulk purchases. I’d like to offer this to ALL of my corporate clients.
WOW!!! This is a fantastic introduction to the world of Emotions. Explanations are simple and clear with excellent examples of facial expressions towards the end. I can see this book being of enormous value to everyone; people in business, in education, in coaching, etc. etc., as well as members of the general public who are merely interested in learning more about the topic. I would love to consider it as an additional resource for my Communications for Supply Chain Professionals Masters Degree module (if there were a soft copy available). Well done and congratulations to David and all at Humintell LLC.
