In 'Mindwise,' renowned behavioral scientist Nicholas Epley challenges our confidence in our ability to understand others. He reveals that our so-called 'sixth sense' for mind-reading is often flawed, leading to significant misunderstandings. Epley dissects the common psychological pitfalls, such as projection and stereotyping, that prevent us from accurately gauging what others think, feel, and want. Drawing on years of research, the book offers a fascinating exploration of social cognition and provides practical, science-backed advice on how to genuinely improve our ability to connect with and understand the people around us.
