“The ability to read other people’s minds makes possible understanding between friends, forgiveness between enemies, empathy for outsiders, and cooperation between spouses and colleagues,” writes Nicholas Epley. And he assures that our brain has everything necessary to use and constantly develop this ability.
No, Epley is not a magician or a psychic. He is a respected psychologist and professor at the School of Business at the University of Chicago (USA). And he is not talking about the mystical ability to telepathy, but only about the ability to correctly understand other people. However, «only» is hardly appropriate here. How often we fail to understand the true emotions, motives and reasons that move people. It was about how to avoid such mistakes, which often lead to sad consequences, that Nicholas Epley wrote his book. And also about how intuition helps us look deep into consciousness — including our own.
