When someone asks you, \\u201cHow are you feeling today?\\u201d How do you typically answer?\\xa0\\xa0

If you\\u2019re like many of us, you answer with a simple, \\u201cGood.\\u201d\\xa0But,\\xa0that doesn\\u2019t convey nearly the entire story, does it?\\xa0

The fact is, we experience incredibly complex emotions, and our ability to recognize our own emotions and the emotions of others is called emotional intelligence, and it\\u2019s what we\\u2019re focusing on with this week\\u2019s guest.\\xa0

This week, we\\u2019re speaking with Dan Hill. He\\u2019s an internationally recognized expert on the role of emotions in politics, business, sports, and pop culture. He\\u2019s spoken to audiences in over 25 countries, and to capture and quantify emotions, Dan pioneered the use of facial coding (the analysis of facial expressions) with his company\\xa0Sensory Logic.\\xa0

Dan is also the author of the book \\u201cFamous Faces Decoded: A Guidebook for Reading Others,\\u201d which we dive into during our conversation.\\xa0

We also talk about:\\xa0

  • What emotional intelligence is and how it relates to many facets of life\\xa0
  • Facial coding\\xa0and the 23 different emotional markers on our faces.
  • The specificity we can get to when we label emotions. BTW, did you know there are SEVEN different types of anger?\\xa0
  • Finally, Dan gives us numerous examples of famous people and their \\u201csignature emotions\\u201d and how to recognize them in their expressions.\\xa0

This was such a fascinating conversation, particularly when you think about it from the context of how strongly it impacts our day-to-day lives. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!\\xa0
