Summary
Tired of guessing what they're really thinking？ Read people in every situation--in person， on a screen， or in writing--using the new science of psycholinguistics， from a New York Times bestselling author and consultant to the FBI， CIA， and NSA。
"A treasure trove of concepts， ideas， and tools that we can all master to be safer and happier。 It's a must-read！"--Joe Navarro， author of Dangerous Personalities
What did your boss mean in that email？ Is your mechanic stretching the truth？ Whether you're engaged in a casual conversation or a high-stakes negotiation， it's critical to understand the subtext of a situation。 But with so much interaction happening on screens--via email， texts， or video chat--we are losing the ability to interpret expressions and cues。 Furthermore， since many are now savvy about the meaning of body language， it's become even harder to discern someone's true thoughts or intentions。
A leading lie-detection expert who instructs the FBI and other security agencies， noted psychotherapist David Lieberman， PhD， takes "people reading" to a whole new level。 Drawing on the latest research in psycholinguistics--the cues embedded in spoken and written speech--he shows you how to apply his cutting-edge methods to countless everyday situations， including:
- Detecting the messaging behind passive language， personal or impersonal descriptions， and level of detail。
- Determining whether someone's account of any incident is the truth or a work of fiction。
- Finding out whether a potential hire， dating app match， or new babysitter is trustworthy or hiding something。
Nobody wants to be played a fool。 Mindreader will help us identify who can be trusted， and who may be out to get us。

Three good ideas buried in false， disproven research such as power positions。 Needed a fact checker。 Strongly recommend against。Instead read Joe Navarro。

I read this all in one sitting。 It is clearly well researched and academic but also is written in a casual voice that makes the information easy to read。 It was all super interesting。

Must read！ You'll never again look at people the same way。 For the first time ever， I wished this nonfiction book had been longer。 Although the book is dense and the author jams a lot into its pages， I had "Aha" moments on every page even though he probably could have used a few more examples。 I usually read with a highlighter， and about half of my book is yellow。 Close Encounters， Chapter 3， was my favourite because it teaches you how to tell if someone is genuinely interested in you or just be Must read！ You'll never again look at people the same way。 For the first time ever， I wished this nonfiction book had been longer。 Although the book is dense and the author jams a lot into its pages， I had "Aha" moments on every page even though he probably could have used a few more examples。 I usually read with a highlighter， and about half of my book is yellow。 Close Encounters， Chapter 3， was my favourite because it teaches you how to tell if someone is genuinely interested in you or just being nice。 。。。more

I love the originality of this book。 I've read a tonne of books of this genre， and many of them are just reimaginings of others。 Here， Lieberman brings something truly unique to the table。 It's an exciting addition to a stale genre。 I love the originality of this book。 I've read a tonne of books of this genre， and many of them are just reimaginings of others。 Here， Lieberman brings something truly unique to the table。 It's an exciting addition to a stale genre。 。。。more

I believe he did a great job discussing mental health in a way that avoided aggravating stereotypes。 Lieberman also writes with a nice writing style and professional way。 The book's first section discusses how to read people， and its second section focuses more on mental health and how to determine whether a person is emotionally healthy or dangerous。 You'll love this book。 I believe he did a great job discussing mental health in a way that avoided aggravating stereotypes。 Lieberman also writes with a nice writing style and professional way。 The book's first section discusses how to read people， and its second section focuses more on mental health and how to determine whether a person is emotionally healthy or dangerous。 You'll love this book。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 I recently received a diagnosis of being on the spectrum as an adult。 This book is similar to your first time wearing glasses。 eye-opening in every way

It was a mistake to listen to this in audio。 It seemed repetitive， and I found myself becoming more and more distracted。 May be my problem， though， right！

After reading the book's short description， I thought that it would another one similar to Alan Pease's book about body language。 But I was totally wrong。 This book surprised me and it was fun to read。 It talks about how people speak in various situations。 Maybe it gets a bit boring or too "scientific" by the end， but it is definitely worth reading。 After reading the book's short description， I thought that it would another one similar to Alan Pease's book about body language。 But I was totally wrong。 This book surprised me and it was fun to read。 It talks about how people speak in various situations。 Maybe it gets a bit boring or too "scientific" by the end， but it is definitely worth reading。 。。。more
