Mindwise by Nicholas Epley
Reveals our real sixth sense - our ability to understand our own minds and the minds of others Arguably our brain's greatest sense is the ability to understand the minds of others - our sixth sense. This book shows that this capacity for inferring what others are thinking and feeling is, however sophisticated, still prone to critical errors.
Psychologist Nicholas Epley's Mindwise provides a guide to understanding the minds of othersHis engrossing book outlines the strategies that we use: projecting from our own minds, using stereotypes, and inferring from others' actions ... Epley is a lucid and magnetic host, and his book ... is crammed with evidence-based research * Independent *
