At a conference this week I met this gentleman, an attorney who has studied physiognomy, or face reading, for over two decades. I knew I wouldn't have time to sit in on his presentation so I asked him to give me a 60-second sample by reading my face, and then I would buy his book.
He was right on some things, wrong on some others, so it was hard to tell how much of this is science and how much is hoo-hah. He sure nailed one thing, though, with this comment after about 45 seconds:
"You don't believe a word I'm saying to you right now, but you're listening very politely."
The book is interesting so far, and I can surely see the many practical uses if the accuracy is good.

It's why I love the Internet....
Pray tell what you found, as my research has been uneventful.
Mr. Fulfer was right that I didn't believe him, as he only told me positive things that 99.5% of people would agree with. But I'm not one to rule out anything until putting it through the paces.
JP Fitness, Louschuler.com....there's a lot of good stuff out there.
By the way: thought of a book for you and your daughter: Diary of a Wombat. One of Katie Rose's favorites.
Thanks for the referral; I'll certainly check it out!
Sounds like I just plain misunderstood you on the other point. I thought you meant there was some sort of Snopes-style expose' out there on Fulfer and/or the "science" of physiognomy.
hello? Anybody in here? Hellllloooooooo....
Will post again shortly, my friend -- been on a little road trip the last several days.
Thanks for checking up on me here and at JP's place!
FORE!
