The Face Reader
by Patrician McCarthy

Published by Dutton, April 2007

Discover anyone’s personality, compatibility, and talents — including your own — through the ancient art of Chinese Face Reading

Wouldn’t you like to know if the person you were about to hire was a natural leader? What if you could measure a person’s passion for life by their eyebrows?  Did you know you could find out if someone has issues with fidelity by the markings around their eyes? Mien Shiang, a 3,000-year-old Taoist practice, gives you answers to all of these questions — and more. Filled with revealing anecdotes and hundreds of photographs, The Face Reader is the definitive manual for this effective and time-tested art form.  It is a fascinating look at how Chinese Face Reading can be applied to our relationships, the workplace, and all aspects of our lives.
