The Face Reader:
Discover Anyone's Personality, Compatibility, Talents, and Challenges Through Chinese Face Reading
What if you could learn powerful insights into a person just by seeing his or her face?
Face Reading tells a person’s story. Whether it becomes an impetus for personal insight or a tool for reading the qualities of others, The Face Reader is the definitive manual for determining the potential of nearly everyone you know—including yourself.
Mien Shiang, or Taoist Face Reading, is an ancient art form that has been used for nearly 3,000 years. At its heart is the belief that our faces are a map of our past, present, and future. One person’s ears might suggest his ability to take risks. Another’s nose might show how ambitious she is. Our eyes may tell the story of how we respond to the world around us. A face shape shows if a person is a natural leader, or prefers to be a team player.
Facial markings may reveal something about one’s relationships or even how they express love. More than that, the sum of all these features shows us a person’s greatest strengths, and biggest challenges. This book offers the most accessible and enlightening introduction to the time-honored tradition of solving the mystery of personality, compatibility, and even destiny.
In Your Element - Taoist Psychology
Have you ever wondered why you are instinctively drawn to—or pull away from—certain behaviors, styles, tastes, things, places, and people?
The ancient Taoist philosophers and healers may have been the first psychologists. They observed people and their behaviors and concluded that there were definitive personality types—groups who shared behavioral attributes and personalities. They divided the personality types into five groups based on the Taoist Five Elements of Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. Each of these Elements has distinct behaviors and reactions, likes and dislikes.
In Your Element will help you discover which Element or Elements best describe you, which ones do not, and which ones you get along with best. This is a remarkable opportunity for self-discovery and self-enrichment and to have authentic relationships with everyone in your life.
