Unfortunate Picture of Andy Stanley

I just realized that my recent blog post of Andy Stanley’s newest book may actually be detrimental to his image. I just visited the Amazon link to The Principle of the Path again, and I noticed this interesting picture of Andy:

andystanleyI’m pretty sure this is the first time Andy has attempted this particular facial gesture. I’ve not seen him use it before. I’m not at all sure what emotional response the facial expression is supposed to provoke; however, as an amateur image consultant, I’d have to say this is not exactly a becoming look for Andy.

This, of course, raises several questions:

  • Is Andy aware that this picture exists?
  • Does Michael Hyatt cover inappropriate facial expressions when he signs authors to Thomas Nelson book contracts?
  • Will next generation leaders be trying to emulate this facial expression to better communicate their messages?

Speaking of emulating this facial expression, I have a free copy of The Principle of the Path that I’ll give to the person who best mimics Andy’s facial expression in this picture. Take a picture of yourself. Email it to me. Include your name and website (if you’d like me to share it). I’ll select the winner later this week.

In the mean time, I’m praying Andy still appreciates sarcasm.

    No biggie. He’s about to show how he can curl his tongue. I’m sure it’s an amazing illustration … for … something…
