If you find yourself called on to judge people on a regular basis, you need all the tools at your disposal to do your job right. Handwriting psychology offers one practical method for helping you learn what you need to learn about your subject quickly. Whether you are a teacher, psychologist or manager, you can benefit from the guidance of Dr. Helmut Ploog, a handwriting expert. Learn what the size and width of handwriting can reveal about a person, as well as what more muted features—such as slant, spacing, and direction of lines—can make clear. Written in plain English, this guidebook presents pithy explanations of handwriting movements, which may be angular or round, long or short, heavy or light, high or deep below the base line. It also offers analyses of the handwriting of many well-known people, including Charles Darwin, Anne Frank, Paul Getty, Allen Ginsberg, Ernest Hemingway, Frida Kahlo, Somerset Maugham, Pablo Picasso, Pope Benedict, Vladimir Putin, Maurice Ravel, Carl Rogers, and Susan Sontag. Handwriting Psychology should never be used by itself to judge someone, but it can serve as an essential tool to make and confirm observations that could change your life, your career, and your approach to life.

When we purposefully change our handwriting, we introduce attitudes that can improve our relationships, give us the impetus to achieve and take risks, and simply bring out the best in us. This is because our handwriting is a reflection of our innermost thoughts and feelings. When we fall in love, survive a serious illness, or change careers, our view of life is dramatically altered and, as a result, our handwriting patterns change. Conversely, desired transformations can result from intentionally changing the way specific letters are written: * Stick to that diet by changing the letter T. * Avoid being overlooked for that well-deserved promotion by changing the letter G. * Reduce stress and cease juggling too many things at once by changing the letter S. * Overcome shyness or stage fright by changing the letter A. Included is an enlightening assessment test that identifies those personality traits requiring attention. Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life profoundly reveals that the key to making dreams come true is as simple as putting pen to paper.

Your handwriting is a picture of yourself that you may never have seen. This book shows you how to look at handwriting to discover personality and character differences and then apply psychological knowledge to profit from this new information. Graphology is the science of finding out about a person's character from his handwriting. Combine this with psychology and you have the theme of this volume: Psychographology. Because handwriting is a universal means of communication and expression, it is the basis of finding important personality information, not only about yourself but about other people that you are interested in. The book is organized simply so that you can read it quickly. Illustrations are located immediately following the text discussions so that you will understand promptly just what is being described. Instead of following a straight format, the various sections of the book have been styled to accommodate the sense of the material. This is not a book to read and set aside. It contains a complete section on Graphology so that it can be used as a continuous reference work on handwriting analysis. This basic material will have to be read many times before it will be mastered. There is also a list of personality "types" so that you can classify people quickly when you have only a little time to study their handwriting. A special group of "Grapho-Guides" has been included for the person who cannot wait to finish the book but who needs to try out his new handwriting knowledge immediately. These will serve to answer a number of the most common questions that people want answered about themselves and others.
