Author Mac Fulfer makes face reading fun and easy for you to understand more about the people you encounter-no matter who you meet or where you are in the world.Face reading is our foundational international language, and none of our seeming "differences" matter-whether nationality, gender, race, or culture-because every person's face can be read in the exact same way.

So this book is not about interpreting facial "expressions"-it's about learning to read the stories that a person's face can tell. Using a unique approach that combines both "genetics" (the face you are born with) and "epigenetics" (the way life events alter facial features over time), this book helps you understand others better. Discover how learning to interpret simple and easily recognized features, such as ear size and eyebrow shape, can allow you to make a better connection with anyone, anywhere.Superbly illustrated and organized like an encyclopedia, The Power of Face Reading guides you through all you need to know about reading faces, from top-to-bottom, detail-to-gestalt, gesture-to-metaphoric meaning.
