Beyond the Primer Book (ENGLISH)

Description

The perfect companion to The Emotion Primer Booklet!

Beyond the Primer: Emotions and Facial Expressions brings together 9 years of insightful blog writing on the science of human emotion, curated from a long-running series of blogs originally published on Humintell’s website.

What began as a simple idea—to gather these pieces into one place—revealed a surprisingly rich body of work substantial enough to form a compact, informative volume.

This book compiles foundational explanations, research highlights, and approachable discussions on emotions and facial expressions.

Lightly edited for print, each chapter maintains the authentic tone of its blog origins, including natural overlaps, recurring themes, and occasional cross-references—now converted from hyperlinks to page numbers for ease of reading.

Rather than smoothing away every redundancy, the book preserves the rhythm of the original posts, allowing readers to experience the conversational, accessible style that made the blogs engaging.

Each entry includes the date it first appeared online, though the sequence has been rearranged to create a clearer narrative arc—from basic concepts to deeper insights—while remaining faithful to the material as it was first written.

Whether you’re a curious lay reader, a practitioner in psychology or communication, or someone interested in understanding human behavior more deeply, this collection offers a cohesive, approachable exploration of how we express and interpret emotion.

It serves as both a standalone introduction and a companion to Humintell’s online resources—an inviting addition to any library on nonverbal behavior and emotional science.
