Mindwise

In Mindwise, Nicholas Epley explores the everyday psychology behind our “sixth sense”: the knack for reading other people and making sense of ourselves. Warmly written and backed by rigorous behavioural science, this is popular science at its best—curious, practical, and full of those “hang on, I do that” moments.

Epley shows how social intelligence can be both powerful and surprisingly unreliable. We draw quick conclusions about motives, feelings, and character, often without realising how much guesswork is involved. Using sharp research and relatable examples, he unpacks why misunderstandings happen and how small shifts in attention and humility can lead to clearer, kinder communication.

Perfect for readers who enjoy psychology and self-improvement, anyone interested in relationships and workplace dynamics, and fans of thoughtful non-fiction that sharpens your perspective without preaching.

Add *Mindwise* to your basket if you’d like a smarter, more human way to understand people.
