Sample Book Insights:
#1 Don’t judge people by their appearance. Judge people by what’s in their hearts. It makes you seem kind, and it emphasizes your profundity.
#2 We generally do judge by appearances, even if we claim we don’t. We do so because we are evolved to do so, and because doing so has worked up until now.
#3 Physiognomy, the study of character based on facial features, fell out of popularity because of its association with Master Mendicants, but it was re-popularized by the Swiss scholar Johan Kaspar Lavater in 1826.
#4 Physiognomy became associated with phrenology, the belief that the nature of a person’s character can be discerned by small differences in the shape of their skull. However, this was debunked.

We generally do judge by appearances, even if we claim we don’t. We do so because we are evolved to do so, and because doing so has worked up until now.

#3

Physiognomy, the study of character based on facial features, fell out of popularity because of its association with Master Mendicants, but it was re-popularized by the Swiss scholar Johan Kaspar Lavater in 1826.

#4

Physiognomy became associated with phrenology, the belief that the nature of a person’s character can be discerned by small differences in the shape of their skull. However, this was debunked.
