Description

Mindreading: An Investigation Into How We Learn to Love and Lie examines theory of mind, the ability to understand others' thoughts and feelings, and how this shapes social interaction, trust, and deception. The book surveys how theory of mind develops, its variation in different conditions such as autism, and how people infer others' intentions and emotions in daily life. It discusses research on lie detection and the cues people use to read others, including nonverbal signals like eye gaze, and considers how these processes influence love, friendship, and group behavior.
