Where does it come from? How does it work? How can it be used? Handwriting is a map of the mind, a visible record of brain impulses that govern one's behavior. These impulses not only dictate handwriting but also reveal personality. They cannot lie, because they're beyond conscious control and therefore display character directly and honestly. The uniquely practical approach to graphology presented here enables you to gain remarkable insights into friends, lovers, family members, business associates, and yourself almost immediately. The book forcefully demonstrates that virtually anyone can achieve powerful new understanding through the easy mastery of analytical skills that can provide you with the perceptions of a behavioral psychologist and the street smarts of a savvy entrepreneur~all without having to memorize huge volumes of information. In your reading, you will attend a dinner party at which you meet eight fascinatingly diverse people whose behavior you will observe throughout the evening, at the same time relating it to examples of their handwriting. Soon you will find through this dramatic method that the fundamentals of analyzing size and formation of letters, spacing, slant, connections, margins, and pressure become crystal clear.

Gene Siskel & Roger Ebert, At the Movies "How come Ann Mahony knows me better than me?" Regis Philbin "Everyone was amazed with all of my positive changes. As you can tell, I'm feeling wonderful about myself! I feel as if I've slowed down and am looking at things as they really are. Your guidance has been an incredible gift to me. I will be eternally grateful." Maggie Englesbee, San Francisco "My analysis has given me the strength and confidence to get a full-time, better paying job, the end a relationship, to reach out and expand my horizons. You captured the real me. C.G., Sacramento "I I used to hire only 'top dogs'. Each person was more concerned with making himself heard than with utilizing the ideas of others. I now have a team with lots of give and take, where everyone rises to a new level. I'm recommending you coast to coast." Robert E. Atkinson, Mgr. retail clothing store
