1.0 out of 5 stars
Unbelieveable that this guy entitles a book "love", May 24, 2005
This review is from: The Secrets of Making Love Happen: How to Find, Attract & Choose Your Perfect Mate Using Handwriting Analysis & Neuro-Linguistic Programming (Paperback)
As I read through this book it really seemed more about Bart Baggett bragging about how many women he slept with than about any secrets to making love or relationships happen. After several shocking pages of reading about his "sl*t" and "wh*re" and "b**ch" conquests (all his word choices, not mine!), in a book about "making love happen." I am seriously confused. Why would a man, who by his own admission is 1) highly promiscuous and seeks out vulnerable women in order to "get laid," 2) has never been in a seriously committed relationship and 3) openly views any woman who would have a sexual interest in him as a "sl*t," writing a book on "LOVE." This book is not about true relationships nor is it in any way about love or creating a loving relationship.
Although I read this book through, I am pretty much done ever purchasing another product from his company (EVER). I was equally disgusted by Bart Baggett's reference in this book to the woman he "build enough rapport with" to "gain her trust" because her handwriting indicated she would be a "good lay." She admitted to him she had been raped in a hotel they drove past. His response was that he now "wouldn't touch her" for sex "because of what had been done to her" he "didn't know what he might catch." Astonishing... no STUNNING admission on HIS part!
I was also troubled that I saw a lot of information from more mature and experienced handwriting experts (some deceased), appear in this book. Strangely absent were reference numbers or quotation marks. Interesting! To my curious eye, pretty much all of the uncited epiphanies he supplies throughout this book, seem remarkably similar to those presented by his "unofficial mentors" in their books. Even in his "change your handwriting in 30 days" materials I found many outright "similarities" between his suggestions and the work "Your Handwriting Can Change Your Life" by Vimala Rodgers... as well as many works created decades past. It might be time for someone to dust off their "out of print" handwriting and graphology books and give this man some serious scrutiny (no laughter here).
In my opinion Mr. Baggett seems to have a lot of trouble giving others the credit they are due for their ideas. Also his book has made me wonder whether a "t" crossed excessively high is more about narcissism than high self-esteem. Honestly, (no lying loops here!) I decided that it was better to "circular file" this book rather than even to donate it to the local library. I wish I had spent the money on a pizza instead.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Loads of typos, May 8, 2003
This review is from: The Secrets of Making Love Happen: How to Find, Attract & Choose Your Perfect Mate Using Handwriting Analysis & Neuro-Linguistic Programming (Paperback)
He's a very good speaker, he does have a (biting) sense of humor, he is overly obsessed with sex (which can be funny but ultimately just gets tiring), he's a brilliant *marketer*. He is talented at handwriting traits but I would assume that his lower loops all run into the next lines every time - he has too many irons in the fire. The reader is left with the feeling that we, the book purchasers, are not worth hiring an editor, nor running Spell Check (even once??).
If you're looking for real handwriting analysis, go to
http://www.karohs.com/handwriting_analysis.htm
Dr. Erika Karohs is the real deal - Bart is .... not.
I've invested quite a bit of money in Bart's books and courses and the quality of the materials is very sub standard. He's selling himself totally short by racing through, writing as fast as he can and never looking back. We are left with the feeling that he has somewhere else to be and doesn't really have time to write this book so would you please just go to his website(s) and buy more stuff! And hurry! :)

Avoid Jerks, Losers, Liars by Looking at their Handwriting!!, December 9, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: The Secrets of Making Love Happen: How to Find, Attract & Choose Your Perfect Mate Using Handwriting Analysis & Neuro-Linguistic Programming (Paperback)
Bart Baggett teaches you how to look at a sample of handwriting (cursive) and to begin to identify , quickly and easily, the individual personality traits that you either want to avoid, or attract, in a relationship. Handwriting Analysis is an accurate science of interpreting both positive and negative personality traits; traits that support success or failure.
Examples of personality traits that you can identify in a sample of handwriting are: self-esteem, generosity, directness, talkativeness, trust, desire for attention, sarcasm, physical & sexual drives, analytical thinking, sensitivity to criticism, paranoia, pathological liar, lives in the moment, domineering, cumulative thinking, procrastination, aggressiveness,
loner, fear of success, pride, and many more! Are you now beginning to see how valuable a tool Handwriting Analysis can be to the success of your relationships? Handwriting analysis can be applied to family relationships, sexual relationships, and work relationships.
I have personally used Handwriting Analysis (the knowledge that I learned from reading this book) to screen future employees, business partnerships, and friendships, as well as to enhance the relationships that I already have had for years. I understand much more quickly how people might relate, and how to defuse any potential conflicts. For example, I will now know in
advance that there is potential for two of my business partners to have conflict due to one person's trait of bluntness and sarcasm in relation to the other's trait of sensitivity to criticism. Now I can assist them in becoming more aware of each other's communication style so that they can better understand their interaction, and then decide to make different choices in their communication.
I strongly reccomend this book, and the application of this valuable science, to those of us in life who don't simply talk to ourselves. More importantly, it is a critical tool to be used in order to avoid costly mistakes, broken hearts, and shattered expectations. Some have said that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but we all know that you can certainly learn a lot by its table of contents... Handwriting
Analysis is the table of contents to YOUR personality. Now who wouldn't want to buy this book?
