Description: "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"--
