I Just Know How You Feel

Do you feel sad?Happy?Frustrated?Insouciant?Exonerated?Infuriated?Do you think that the way you display these emotions is unique?Well,think again.Even the expression of the most personal feelings CaB be divided into groups,classified,and perhaps,taught.This week sees the publication of Mind Reading,an interactive DVD-rom displaying every possible human emotion.It demonstrates 412 distinct ways in which we feel:the first visual dictionary of the human heart.

The attempt to classify the human heart began with Darwin.His The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals,published in 1872,divided the emotions into six types-anger,fear,sadness, disgust,surprise and enjoyment.________(46).
