In this comprehensive illustrated guide, Jennifer Lamonica delves into the ancient tradition of face morphology, a secretive system passed down orally from rabbi to student for over 4,500 years. She traces the history and evolution of this esoteric art, from its origins in Israel and Egypt to its prominence as the primary diagnostic system in Europe until the Enlightenment. Lamonica also explores its current applications in French medical schools.

Through the techniques of master face readers, the author reveals how to interpret the angles of the profile, palm color, and nose shape to determine a person's temperament. She provides valuable health and career insights into each of the four temperaments, including nutritional needs, digestive issues, sleep patterns, health predispositions, and ideal occupational paths.

Lamonica further explores the Foursquare diagram, developed by French occultist Papus, for highly accurate and detailed facial readings. She explains how to combine the front face with planetary shapes to reveal a person's character; the major facial features, such as eyebrows, which reveal personal inclinations; and the musculature of the face, including expressions, which reveal a person's current mental state.

The author includes case studies to demonstrate how face morphology can be applied in relationships and parenting. She also delves into the meaning of each facial variation, while also addressing common misconceptions and ethical considerations related to this practice.

In conclusion, this illustrated guide offers a fascinating and insightful exploration of the ancient tradition of face morphology. By learning to read the face, we can gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and others, leading to greater self-awareness, empathy, and personal growth.
