Comments on: Illustrated Guide to Face Reading http://www.financialjesus.com/2008/07/08/face-reading/ Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:45:05 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.7 hourly 1 By: Roman http://www.financialjesus.com/2008/07/08/face-reading/comment-page-1/#comment-530 Roman Thu, 02 Oct 2008 20:57:31 +0000 http://www.financialjesus.com/?p=231#comment-530 Re, phrenology and face reading are different things - phrenology has nothing to do with specific facial features but a lot to do with the bumps on the head. Paul Ekman is without doubt a genius but as much as I've heard about him on my psychology lectures here in Tallinn, his work is mostly about facial micro-expressions and emotions. For myself I actually do not believe in neither phrenology or face reading but body language (something that also Ekman is known for) is a completely different thing. In my career as a door-to-door salesman and making sales presentations to about 7000 different people - I never noticed that people with some facial expressions tended to act in a certain way. Body language, however, was a different way - there is no doubt in my mind that body language works!

Phrenology has been disproven for decades already. If you want to read peoples faces better, I would reccomenr paul Ekman`s work instead. It has an advantage of being proven in clinical trials instead of 1870s belief that you can prove persons personality by the shape of their head. Süsteem töötab. No. Just no.
