Moc krásy
8,80 €
Physical attractiveness also enters into questions of social success. The collective monograph Moc krásy examines its connections with education, personality, self-confidence, occupation, and income. It approaches beauty through sociology and economics.
The research asks what place appearance holds alongside competencies and other sources of social status. The book is suited to readers interested in inequality and social mobility. It raises scholarly questions about the role of attractiveness; it is not a guide to improving one’s appearance.
This collective monograph examines the relationship between physical attractiveness, social status, and success in life.

The research framework includes education, personality profile, self-confidence, employment, and income. Its focus is therefore on the social effects of appearance rather than the aesthetic assessment of individuals.
