Praise for Nicholas Epley's Mindwise " Mindwise is a brilliant and beautiful exploration of the mystery of other minds--and how we fail to solve it. Insightful and important, Mindwise is one of the best books of this or any other decade." --Daniel Gilbert, New York Times bestselling author of Stumbling on Happiness "What is it like to be someone else? How can we get into other people's heads? These questions have challenged the greatest thinkers in Western philosophy, and they obsess every one of us as we try to deal with our family, lovers, friends, enemies, colleagues, and allies. In Mindwise, the distinguished social psychologist Nicholas Epley offers a lively and fascinating tour of the latest science on how we figure out (and all too often fail to figure out) what everyone else is thinking." --Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and author of How the Mind Works and The Stuff of Thought "'Know thyself,' commanded the Oracle at Delphi. Mindwise shows us why that's so hard to do, yet so vital as the starting point for understanding others. Epley writes with scientific authority, grace, and deep humanity. You'll come away from this book understanding the African concept of Ubuntu: A person is a person through other people." --Jonathan Haidt, NYU Stern School of Business, author of The Righteous Mind "Why are we often so terribly bad at figuring out what other people are thinking? Nicholas Epley is one of the smartest and most creative social psychologists alive, and in his extraordinary new book, he explores the powers and the limits of our capacity for 'mindreading.' Epley is a clear and engaging writer, and Mindwise is replete with fascinating insights into human nature." --Paul Bloom, Brooks and Suzanne Ragen Professor of Psychology, Yale University, author of Just Babies "Too much of life's misery comes from misunderstanding what others are thinking, and from assuming that those we love must know what is (obviously!) on our mind. Mindwise is a highly enjoyable and informative book by one of psychology's rising stars that will make you spend less time in pointless arguments and more time in rewarding relationships. Gaining some wisdom about the minds of others will be painless and priceless." --Richard H. Thaler, Ralph and Dorothy Keller Distinguished Service Professor of Economics and Behavioral Science, Booth School of Business, University of Chicago, Praise for Nicholas Epley''s Mindwise "Animals and humans think, but only humans can understand what others are thinking. Without this ability, cooperative society is unimaginable. It''s a sixth sense, akin to mind reading, writes Epley in this clever psychology primer....Epley ably explores many entertaining and entirely convincing mistakes, so readers will have a thoroughly satisfying experience." -- Kirkus Reviews "This book isn''t pop psychology but popularly written, genuine behavioral psychology, based on the findings of carefully constructed experiments. Its subject is the so-called sixth sense, by which humans descry what others feel, think, and know, and which we variously call intuition, sympathy, and mind reading. The experiments Epley describes verify its reality and, more important, that it isn''t nearly as reliable as we assume; indeed, it''s only modestly better than chance at rightly ascertaining particulars (e.g., opinions, preferences, details), even those of spouses, family members, and bosom friends.... Useful! " --Booklist "One of the smartest and most entertaining books I have read in years. At a time when there are dozens of popular social science books to choose from, Epley''s masterpiece stands out as the cream of the crop." --Steven D. Levitt, coauthor of Freakonomics " Mindwise is a brilliant and beautiful exploration of the mystery of other minds--and how we fail to solve it.

Synopsis
You are a mind reader, born with an extraordinary ability to understand what others think, feel, believe, want, and know. It's a sixth sense you use every day, in every personal and professional relationship you have. At its best, this ability allows you to achieve the most important goal in almost any life: connecting, deeply and intimately and honestly, to other human beings. At its worst, it is a source of misunderstanding and unnecessary conflict, leading to damaged relationships and broken dreams. How good are you at knowing the minds of others? How well can you guess what others think of you, know who really likes you, or tell when someone is lying? How well do you really understand the minds of those closest to you, from your spouse to your kids to your best friends? Do you really know what your coworkers, employees, competitors, or clients want? In this illuminating exploration of one of the great mysteries of the human mind, University of Chicago psychologist Nicholas Epley introduces us to what scientists have learned about our ability to understand the most complicated puzzle on the planet--other people--and the surprising mistakes we so routinely make. Why are we sometimes blind to the minds of others, treating them like objects or animals? Why do we sometimes talk to our cars, or the stars, as if there is a mind that can hear us? Why do we so routinely believe that others think, feel, and want what we do when, in fact, they do not? And why do we believe we understand our spouses, family, and friends so much better than we actually do? Mindwise will not turn other people into open books, but it will give you the wisdom to revolutionize how you think about them--and yourself.
