Review: This book is AMAZING! - Sure! Here's a balanced and thoughtful review you could use, depending on your tone and intent (feel free to let me know if you'd Review: My Rabbi Recommended The Art and Science of Palm Reading I never expected a spiritual conversation with my rabbi to lead me to a book about palm reading—but that's exactly what happened. With a thoughtful smile, he recommended The Art and Science of Palm Reading, not as a substitute for Torah or tradition, but as a tool for understanding human nature in a new light. At first, I was skeptical. Palm reading seemed more like something out of a carnival tent than a rabbinic study session. But my rabbi framed it differently: he described it as a centuries-old art that, when approached with humility and curiosity, can serve as a mirror for introspection. Reading the book, I was surprised by its depth. It blends symbolic interpretation with personality insight, anatomy, and even psychology. While I wouldn’t say it’s “science” in the empirical sense, it does offer a structure that encourages thoughtful observation and self-reflection. What impressed me most was how the book invites you to slow down and really look at your hands—not just the lines, but what they might say about your strengths, challenges, and life patterns. That sense of reflection felt oddly in sync with my Jewish learning, where we’re constantly turning texts and ideas over and over for deeper meaning. This recommendation reminded me that wisdom doesn’t always come from expected places. My rabbi wasn’t endorsing fortune-telling—he was encouraging curiosity and compassion, tools that are useful whether you’re studying Talmud or fingertips. Would I now consider myself a palm reader? Not exactly. But I do look at hands differently. And that, I think, was the point. I highly reccomended The Art and Science of Palm Reading, and so does my Rabbi! Cheers!!:)
Review: The "Bible" of Palmistry - Absolutely outstanding volume that I would call the "Bible" of palmistry. It goes into fabulous detail as well as the archetypes involved. I recently discovered the validity of palmistry and have been studying it in this book, which I have also shared with others. I had no idea how effective palmistry is, previously thinking it was some sort of gypsy nonsense, and was amazed and enchanted by how much it can tell you about a person. Now I find myself fascinated by people's hands! If you want to learn about this subject in depth this book will deliver.
