reviewed Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined on June 20, 2008 Looks: Why They Matter More Than You Ever Imagined
I'm totally biased because I adore this author. We had a long email back and forth since last summer and I find him lovely, charming and a damn fine writer. And believe me, I hate just about everyone and everything.
He's a messager you don't really want to shoot. It's all there in the research. Looks matter and people are notorious for attributing positive qualities based on nothing but a person's appearance. I observed this phenom in college where I was surrouned by some of the stupidest people on earth, exhaulted on a regular basis for all kinds of unremarkableness. And this book talks all about that. Some of his arguments are a little flawed, but I like reading his thoughts.
I also enjoy feeling smug about sticking to the pretty people and actively resisting the "Halo Effect".
