Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This is the only book on this fascinating subject written by a Canadian. It is clearly written, well organized and leads the reader step-by-step to a point where he/she can do a very impressive analysis of anyone's personality. This is a powerful subject and the Author, with his management background, has provided a balanced perspective that objectively explains the intricacies and complexities while doing so with down-to-earth language and good humour.

From the Author

My intent was to create a book that effectively teaches the subject of Handwriting Analysis and I am proud to say that many of my colleagues now use it in their classes. The first edition was successful in laying out some of the principles of Handwriting Analysis so that a beginner could actually put a fairly comprehensive analysis together. In the second and third editions, I wanted to show the readers how they could apply such analysis to four very important arenas of life. The second edition showed the reader how to measure Emotional Intelligence, determine the compatibility beween two individuals, and it taught parents and teachers how they could better understand and help their children. This third edition deals with Danger and Dishonesty and, of course, contains all of the content of the earlier two editions. It is my hope that, as the reader gets more and more into this subject, he or she will realize that Handwriting Analysis is a powerful window to the personality and, indeed, it is truly an adventure in self-discovery.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Reference Resource, May 11, 2004

By 

Edith Leslie (Toronto, Ontario) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Handwriting Analysis: An Adventure in Self-Discovery, Third Edition (Paperback)

Handwriting Analysis: An Adventure in Self Discovery is, as Peter describes it, truly "an adventure in self-discovery." The material is a clear and concise basic course in handwriting analysis. The organization is excellent; I particularly like how each characteristic is interpreted, both in its positive and negative aspects. Too, the various worksheets provided are excellent tools that facilitate interpretation. As well, the sections on kids and the signs of dishonesty are priceless additions. A valuable addition is the section on determining emotional intelligence, an often ignored, but very important understanding of self and of others. This book is one of the several books that I keep within reach and use quite frequently when I'm when I'm doing an analysis.

This review is from: Handwriting Analysis: An Adventure in Self-Discovery, Third Edition (Paperback)

Having just finished teaching an accredited Ontario College, Introductory course in Handwriting Analysis to mostly Law and Security students, I can say that the choice of using Peter Dennis's book, Handwriting Analysis, An Adventure in Self-discovery, as our main reference text was a resounding success. The students said they liked the book and found it easy to read and understand; and from the dogged-eared look of some of them by the end of the course - proved that they were well read.

"Here is a beautifully and clearly structured book which gives the reader insight into some aspects of handwriting analysis. It is both instructive and entertaining. For each personality trait Peter Dennis gives a positive and a negative meaning, a truly wise approach reminding us that we can use every one of our faculties either for good or for evil."
