Description: "How we react to one another socially is the most important aspect of our lives. Without a Theory of Mind, we could not predict what others are likely to do, feel, or believe; we could not love, lie, cheat, communicate, or develop mature relationships." "In Mindreading, Sanjida O'Connell relates the fascinating case studies and findings of scientists (including herself) who study Theory of Mind, and offers compelling insights on the human condition."--BOOK JACKET.
