• Resumen

  • Cooke discusses how to turn on the waterworks to one's advantage. One reason crying affects people so strongly is that, as many actors know, it's hard to fake. It is considered an honest signal, which makes it really powerful. The ability to shed and respond to tears of emotion is important in the evolution of empathy.
