Looks can be deceiving, but handwriting never lies. Handwriting profiling is an amazingly accurate tool for assessing how people think, feel, and act. In fact, handwriting profiling is so accurate that the FBI, the CIA, and the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad use it to build detailed psychological profiles of some of the world's most dangerous individuals. And thousands of major corporations use handwriting profiling to help them make the right hiring decisions.

Handwriting expert Michelle Dresbold -- the only civilian to be invited to the United States Secret Service's Advanced Document Examination training program -- draws on her extensive experience helping law enforcement agencies around the country on cases involving kidnapping, arson, forgery, murder, embezzlement, and stalking to take us inside the mysterious world of crossed t's and dotted i's.

In Sex, Lies, and Handwriting, Dresbold explains how a single sentence can provide insight into a person's background, psychology, and behavior. Throughout the book, Dresbold explores the handwriting of sly politicians, convicted criminals, notorious killers, suspected cheats, and ordinary people who've written to Dresbold's "The Handwriting Doctor" column for help. She shows you how to identify the signs of a dirty rotten scoundrel and a lying, cheating, backstabbing lover. And she introduces you to some of the most dangerous traits in handwriting, including weapon-shaped letters, "shark's teeth," "club strokes," and "felon's claws." (When you see these traits in someone's script, she says, "it's time to stop reading and start running!")

Dresbold also explains how criminals are tracked through handwritten clues and what spouses, friends, or employees might be hiding in their script.

Finally, Dresbold re-examines the handwriting evidence in several notorious unsolved cases. She uncovers fascinating clues that reveal the secret side of Lizzie Borden, acquitted of the ax murder of her parents in 1893's "trial of the century." Dresbold also reveals astonishing details about the author of the JonBenÉt Ramsey ransom note, and she presents startling new evidence that exposes the real Jack the Ripper (contrary to popular theories, he wasn't a prince or a painter after all).

"THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" will enable you to journalize and plan the next 5 years with what you want, what you have felt, and where you have been. Year by year your entries add to the total summary of your feelings and events, until, on one page you can look back at the past years, up to 5 years - day by day - thought by thought - experience by experience.

We tend to be hard on ourselves, not always giving ourselves the credit due for what growth and change has occurred. Journalizing in this Journal and in the Workbook sections, over a 5 year period will memorialize what was happening. Then having 5 years to look back upon, at one glance, can give us a more accurate reflection of what did or did not happen in the past.

Recording a relative reflection creates an accurate record of memories that we can then use for assessment and personal growth. This Journal will be a reminder and support, of where we have been and where we want to go with our lives. Even if you already journal, "THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" can be effective in addition to what you are currently doing. This Journal can be a quick and easy tool for highlights and learning from hindsight. "THE 5 YEAR JOURNAL" has a unique design that allows you to start journaling any day of the year.

With the passage of time we gain a different perspective. Time is a healer and what was once hard or unbearable can now make more sense, giving us a clearer picture. Recording and tracking our lives in this Journal can actually bring relief, clarity, joy and laughter. You can also use the MonthEnd Summary, Quarterly Questions, Year End Favorites, The Best and Worst Things That Happened to Me, Q and A Year End, Create Your Own Topic, and Year End Summary as meters to track experiences at a glance.

Imagine sitting down, just you or with friends, remembering that favorite movie or favorite song, reading about what you were doing, what you were feeling, or what was happening in your life on a specific date. With this Journal there will be a first hand account of what was, what had happened to you in your life. With the distance and time in-between, you may have a new experience with your past and create a more rewarding future. Imagine passing this Journal on to a friend or family member so they could know you and your history. They could feel your joys and successes, and experience your pains and sorrows.

This Journal can also be used for personal or business items, recording important dates, future deadlines, anniversaries, and more. Dates important in your future can now be pre-recorded for a manner of easy reminding.

For more than a decade, Harper embarked on a methodical vision quest performing painstaking research into "abnormal physics and paranormal psychology," as he says, to put forth the case for our specie’s immortality. This headstrong but heartfelt effort would first lift him up to the heights of ecstasy then plunge him down to the depths of despair, as he realized that we keep killing these messages—if not the messengers, anymore. Throughout, Harper summons an astounding array of overwhelming facts that lend credence to the story-telling myths of long-lived civilizations such as the Mayans and Egyptians, and the death-denying schools of thought espoused by the Gnostics and Freemasons.

Specifically, Harper has reviewed the old literature and built a new theory on solid intellectual ground that includes considerations from anthropology, archaeology, astronomy, astrology, biology, physics, psychology, history, medicine, and theology to name but a few disciplines.

Notwithstanding, this is an easy-to-read honest book not to be overlooked as Harper spews scientific theory and salutes spiritual teachings equally. He sees no contradiction between these two models of reality. There is also a faith in the wisdom of nature here and a rare chance to find solace in times-of-trouble by reviewing the insights gleaned from Harper's communion with the "realm of the dead" and God.
