What if we tried something simpler still, something specific and concrete that you’ve likely spent a considerable amount of time thinking and learning about?

Nicholas Epley, a professor of behavioural science at the Chicago Booth business school, by and large takes the internal workings of our brains for granted, and focuses instead on the common – and sometimes uncommon – sense of how we understand our own thoughts and actions, and, above all, read the thoughts and intentions of others.

At certain points in your life (perhaps you’re at that point right now), you may have thought of little else. It's human nature to procrastinate, postpone unpleasant tasks or get easily distracted when we have something important to do. Our mission supports the entire continuum of mental health – from prevention to crisis response – with evidence-based, trauma-informed solutions that educate and prioritize health for all ages. Refreshingly, however, Mindwise is free of such neuro- or philosophical ruminations; it takes for granted that we and our fellow humans have minds, and can exercise free will.

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! You can be predicting behavior and answers of people you know as you get used to the way the are and act.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Our information gives you some practical tips and resources on managing work, money, housing, relationships and more.

You'll come away from this book understanding the African concept of Ubuntu: A person is a person through other people.

The robots in Star Wars might not be able to pass the Turing test, but it is hard not to empathise with them, and even more with the huge-eyed ET begging to phone home – Epley is good on the importance of eyes. After all, as Epley points out, humans, as social animals, have been making such judgments about others' intentions since their evolutionary dawn, without needing to bother about mirror neurons and the role of the MPFC. Neville Chamberlain, as the prime minister of Great Britain, believed Adolf Hitler’s assurance in 1938 that peace could be preserved with Czechoslovakia and thus encouraged the Czechs not to mobilize their army. On the basis of his experience he bets you'll be wrong, and won't even manage to finish it by the latest time you imagine.The book continues by suggesting that you can improve your decisions by improving your knowledge about what other people think. Getting to know someone, even over a lifetime of marriage, creates an illusion of insight that far surpasses actual insight. Some of your coworkers like you and others do not, but I wouldn’t count on you knowing the difference. Still the probability of your prediction to be true is dependent on a set of circumstances that you may not be aware of.
