Great article, Daniel!

Psychological hand analysis is one of my areas of expertise. We interpret hand forms, finger forms, finger lengths, skin texture, skin complexion, color, finger nails, wrist, mounts, lines, hand gestures, .... and, as part of hand gestures, hand shakes. In fact, hand shakes reveal much more than you talk about ... but what you suggest is a good start of sensitizing people to this important and valuable topic! ;)

Thank you for your kind comment, Bernhard. It was my newest 3-minute daily boost - a promise to the reader I try to keep (although I don’t succeed every day) So, 500 words is approximatively the limit…

But I agree with you - handshake alone would be a topic for a deep dive 2500 word article! Maybe I’ll dive in deeper one day… :-)

How about you write it from your expert point of view and I publish it as a guest post from you? What’s your take on that idea?

Hi Daniel,

Inspired by you, I wrote an article "How to Read a Handshake." It's almost done. Are you still interested?

Best regards,

Bernhard

I'm doing the final polishing today, so the article will be finished tomorrow, Friday. I'll publish it on my newsletter on Saturday. I'd love for you to also publish it as a guest post on your newsletter. In what form do you want to receive it?

That's an interesting idea, Daniel. Thank you for the invitation.

Handshake doesn't need 2500 words ... it's just that one can get so much more information from a handshake ... but this requires some framework about hand analysis. I will think about it and let you know ...
