Sample Book Insights: #1 Don’t judge people by their appearance. Judge people by what’s in their hearts. It makes you seem kind, and it emphasizes your profundity. #2 We generally do judge by appearances, even if we claim we don’t. We do so because we are evolved to do so, and because doing so has worked up until now. #3 Physiognomy, the study of character based on facial features, fell out of popularity because of its association with Master Mendicants, but it was re-popularized by the Swiss scholar Johan Kaspar Lavater in 1826. #4 Physiognomy became associated with phrenology, the belief that the nature of a person’s character can be discerned by small differences in the shape of their skull. However, this was debunked.
