The Art of Reading Minds
The Art of Reading Minds: How to Understand and Influence Others Without Them Noticing | Henrik Fexeus
6 posts | 4 read | 4 to read
The internationally bestselling guide to "mind-reading" by influencing those around you via non-verbal communication, from human psychology expert Henrik Fexeus. How would you like to know what the people around you are thinking? Would you like to network like a pro, persuade your boss to give you that promotion, and finally become the life of every party? Now, with Henrik Fexeus's expertise, you can. A major international bestseller with over 1 million copies in print in 24 countries, The Art of Reading Minds teaches you everything you need to know in order to become an expert at mind-reading. Using psychology-based skills such as non-verbal communication, reading body language, and using psychological influence, Fexeus explains how readers can find out what another person thinks and feels–and consequently control that person’s thoughts and beliefs. Short, snappy chapters cover subjects such as contradictory signs and what they mean, how you flirt with people without even knowing it, methods of suggestion and undetectable influence, how to plant and trigger emotional states, and impressive demonstrations and party tricks. Fexeus gives readers practical (and often fun) tips and examples on how to effectively mind-read others and how to use this information to their advantage, both in personal and business settings.

I hardly read non- fiction and so this was a step out of my comfort zone that was *SO* worth it. I promise you, even if you don't care to practice any of what he suggests you will find the contents of this book and the author highly amusing! And you will nod along at certain points recognizing your own or others actions! Plus, ok, maybe some cool party tricks at the end. 😉
Also only audiobook that I've skipped back in and relistened to.

Now he's talking about pendulums! And I love that I feel so backed up by a possible scientific reason (which in fact is how I explain them) when I've always trusted my pendulums even in serious situations. But his description!!! "Patchouli scented things that henne-dyed hair hippies use!" ???
I may love patchouli and I may dye my hair with henna....

? the beginning of this chapter made me feel better about my flirtatious personality as he says this is really just building directed rapport and natural/good for social animals.
Then he mentioned "flirting" classes where they teach to "caress with your eyes" and lick your lips a lot! My reaction was disgust, which I know b/c he taught me that face earlier on ????
FYI he is not teaching that.
PS. Have I mentioned how funny this author is!?

Here we go, guys! How we flirt, how we are flirted with and, generally, how we all miss these signs! ?
Most of the time I'd consider myself a "flirtatious" person in the sense that society considers someone who talks easily (has that banter) with a lot of people so. But I feel when I'm interested in someone I am the. Most. Obvious. Person. In. The. World! And conversely that no one is interested in me so this will be amusing....

Prairiegirl_reading I‘ve been married for a long time so the flirting game is rusty to say the least but I was never flirty. Mostly I‘m just awkward. 5y
Andrea4 @Prairiegirl_reading maybe you just need a helping hand reading those signs 😉😉 haha 5y
Andrea4 @Prairiegirl_reading also, everyone is awkward or feels that way at least! 5y

Dealing with difficult bosses/coworkers, trying to make new friends, or date?
I work in a field where communication is key, sorry, where *good* communication is key (altho arguably so does everyone) but recently I've had multiple convos about the various modes in which others communicate I.e. difference between being honest vs forthcoming.
This will be interesting. We already do this but we are going to do it *better*.
