Do Palm Lines Really Reveal Our Future ?
eBook [ePub]
Résumé
What if the lines in your palm were nothing more than a mirror of your biological history rather than an open book of your destiny ? In this mini‑book from the ESSENCE collection by Five Minutes, you will discover how palmistry traverses the centuries and adapts to the digital age while remaining devoid of scientific basis.
The book delves into the fascinating history of divinatory practices, exploring the ancient origins of palm reading and its boom in the nineteenth century. It explains how the folds of the palm form in utero and what modern dermatoglyphics can really tell us. Later chapters analyse the cognitive biases that make us receptive to predictions (Barnum effect, need for control) and show how artificial‑intelligence applications transform palmistry into a digital product. The author also examines religious, legal and ethical dimensions, from the ban on fortune telling by some authorities to its return on social platforms.
By unpacking scientific facts, sociological surveys and cultural contexts, this book demonstrates that our hands tell more about our embryonic past than our future. The value added ? An invitation to cultivate critical thinking in the face of easy promises and to take your own future back into your hands. Publisher : Five Minutes – Collection : ESSENCE.
