St Martin's Press The Art of Reading Minds (English, Paperback, Fexeus Henrik)

Despite the title, this book doesn't teach literal telepathy or supernatural mind-reading.

Henrik Fexeus approaches "mind reading" as a combination of psychology, observation, body language, facial expressions, non-verbal communication and influence. The idea is to become better at noticing signals that people communicate—sometimes without realizing they're communicating them.

The book explores things such as:

• Reading body language
• Understanding facial expressions
• Recognizing non-verbal signals
• Establishing rapport with people
• Understanding what someone may be feeling
• Detecting contradictory signals
• Understanding flirting and attraction signals
• Persuasion and psychological influence
• Suggestion
• Triggering or changing emotional states
• Recognizing possible deception cues
• Improving communication
• Social interaction and networking
• "Mind-reading" demonstrations and party tricks

The publisher describes the book as a practical guide using psychology-based skills to understand what people may think and feel and to influence interactions.
