Dr. Ekman has made a huge impact on the world.
His work has led to a much greater understanding ofnonverbal communicationand emotions.
Those changes may interfere with our ability to communicate effectively with others.
When our mental health improves, our communication often improves too.
Dr. Ekman reads facial expressions and body language gives him insight into someones emotional state.
He knows that our emotions often get revealed even before were aware of how were feeling.
We make it easy for the liar because the truth will be uncomfortable for us to learn.
