Summary of Nicholas Epley's Mindwise

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 We have a sixth sense that allows us to understand the minds of others, and it works quickly and effortlessly. However, it is not always accurate.

#2 To get a sense of your actual abilities, let’s start with what is likely to be a very common and important bit of mind reading: trying to guess another person’s impression of you.

#3 The good news is that you probably have a good sense of how others evaluate you on average. The bad news is that you have no idea who likes you and who doesn’t, or how much others like you or dislike you.

#4 The central challenge for your sixth sense is that others’ inner thoughts are revealed only through the façade of their faces, bodies, and language. People have evolved the ability to use cues from that façade to see what lies beneath, but they have also developed a skill to use their façade to mislead and misdirect others.
