Ep 53: The Secret Language Your Face Is Always Speaking — Paul Ekman Explained

Описание: Have you ever stared at someone’s face—during a meeting, an argument, or an awkward silence—and tried to decode what was really going on?

In this episode of the Flintonian Podcast, we dive deep into Emotions Revealed by legendary psychologist Paul Ekman, the man whose work is used by the FBI, CIA, and even Pixar.

We explore the uncomfortable truth that your face is broadcasting information constantly—often before you even know what you’re feeling.

You’ll learn:
• Why emotions happen before conscious thought
• What the brain’s auto appraiser is—and how it hijacks your reactions
• Why anger makes you literally unable to hear reason
• The refractory period that ruins arguments and relationships
• The one facial muscle that reveals real sadness (even when someone says “I’m fine”)
• Why fear and surprise blur together in the brain
• How culture changes emotional expression—but not emotion itself
• And the ethical dilemma of emotional literacy: If you can read someone… should you?

This isn’t a list of body-language tricks.
It’s a user’s manual for the human emotional operating system.

If you’ve ever wanted to understand people better—or understand yourself—this conversation will permanently change how you see faces, emotions, and conflict.

🎙️ Listen. Observe. Decide carefully.
