From leading psychologist Nicholas Epley, Mindwise 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. In Mindwise, renowned psychologist Nicholas Epley shows that this incredible capacity for inferring what others are thinking and feeling is, however sophisticated, still prone to critical errors. We often misread social situations, misjudge others' characters, or guess the wrong motives for their actions. Drawing on the latest in psychological research, Epley suggests that only by learning more about our sixth sense will we have the humility to overcome these errors and understand others as they actually are instead of as we imagine them to be.

Reviews for Mindwise: How We Understand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want

Psychologist Nicholas Epley's Mindwise provides a guide to understanding the minds of others. His 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 A comfortingly slim volume about the ability we all have to understand others ... how wonderful to have this insight into the extent of our ignorance -- Dominic Lawson Sunday Times
