THE FACE OF EMOTION: HOW BOTOX AFFECTS OUR MOOD AND RELATIONSHIPS
Book ID/图书代码： 00500012B58745
English Summary/英文概要： William Shakespeare famously wrote that “a face is like a book,” and common wisdom has it that our faces reveal our deep-seated emotions. But what if the reverse were also true? What if our facial expressions set our moods instead of revealing them? What if there were actual science to support the exhortation, “smile, be happy?” Dermatologic surgeon Eric Finzi has been studying that question for nearly two decades, and in this ground breaking book he marshals evidence suggesting that our facial expressions are not secondary to, but rather a central driving force of, our emotions. Based on clinical experience and original research, Dr. Finzi shows how changing a person’s face not only affects their relationships with others but also with themselves. In his studies using Botox, he has shown how inhibiting the frown of clinically depressed patients leads many to experience relief. This work is a dramatic departure from the neuroscience-based thinking on emotions that tends to view emotions solely as the result of neurotransmitters in the brain. Part absorbing medical narrative, part think piece on the nature of emotion, this is a bold call for us to rethink the causes of unhappiness.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 威廉•莎士比亚写到“一张脸就像一本书”。有一种普遍共识即,我们的面孔揭示我们深层的情绪。但假使这种反应是真的将会怎样？假使我们的面部表情控制我们的情绪,而不仅仅是揭示他们将会怎样?假使有实际的科学支持这种论道“微笑就能快乐”将会怎样？皮肤外科医生Eric Finzi博士近20年来一直在研究这个问题。在这本具有开创性意义的书中，他编列证据来表明我们的面部表情对于我们的情感并不是次要的,而是一个中央的驱动力。根据临床经验和独到的研究,Finzi博士展示了改变一个人的表情是如何做到不仅影响他们与他人的人际关系而且影响到他们自身的。在他的研究中使用肉毒杆菌素,他已经表现出如何抑制临床抑郁患者的皱眉让他们获得轻松的。这工作是一个戏剧性的背离了关于情感的神经科学的基础思想,那种思想倾向于认为情感仅仅是由于大脑的神经递质所导致的。一部分吸收医疗讲述,一部分考虑情感的的本质,这对于我们重新思考不快乐的原因是一个大胆的要求。(LNL)

“This groundbreaking book about the relationship between facial expressions and emotions is likely to provoke great interest. Eric Finzi -- researcher, dermatologist and artist-- has crossed traditional barriers to take us on a journey that starts with Charles Darwin, who first suggested an influence of the muscles of the face on the passions of the mind, and leads all the way to Botox as an unexpected potential treatment for depression.”--Norman E. Rosenthal, author of the New York Timesbestseller Transcendence
“Eric Finzi’s immensely readable book delves into the art and science of that most innate human tools -- the natural smile. The Face of Emotion probes the facial expression of human emotion and the insights gained by using Botox to manipulate those expressions. Finzi brings in his background as scientist, surgeon, artist, and raconteur to open one’s eyes to the complexity of our most natural of gestures.”--Scott A. Norton, MD, MPH, MSc, Chief of Dermatology, Children’s National Medical Center

This is a must read for anyone touched by depression or malaise - and I have yet to meet anyone who isn’t.”--Steven K. Galson, acting Surgeon General of the United States, 2007-2009
