Read People Like a Book: How to Analyze, Understand, and Predict Emotions, Thoughts, Intentions and Behavior

In this book, Patrick King, the author of world bestsellers on social communication skills, examines the ways you can develop the ability to “read” and analyze people—their character, behavior, and motivation, as well as intentions they don’t say out loud. This skill is priceless in society. The author’s task is to teach you how to get high-quality, useful, objective information about people during the very first meeting, so you can build a model of their thoughts, feelings, and actions within the context of the situation. As you read this book, you’ll learn how to tell when you’re being lied to or manipulated, how to judge people’s personality traits and values by observing their speech, facial expressions, body language, and even clothing. In addition, knowing how to “read” people will strengthen your ability for compassion and help you become better parents or romantic partners. And as an extra effect—you’ll get to understand yourself better too!
