An exploration of glamour, a potent cultural force that influences where people choose to live, which careers to pursue, where to invest, and how to vote, offers empowerment to be smarter about engaging with the world.

Longing and the Art of Visual Persuasion

The Power of Glamour

Dana Kraft

I never thought I would read a book about glamour, but I enjoyed Postrel's Substance of Style so I gave this a try. This book is a thoughtful and insightful. I particularly liked the distinction between glamour and charisma. I like the quote that "glamour represents something known to be false but felt to be true."
