I find the way people think endlessly fascinating. Mindreader by David J. Lieberman, a renowned FBI instructor, gives readers an accessible roadmap into the intentions and motivations of others.

Many thanks to the author, publisher, and NetGalley for sharing this book with me.

Fascinating book. It starts to give great information from the first chapter and isn't long-winded and complicated. I was surprised by how I kept turning pages even when I hadn't intend to do much reading on a particular day. I am happy for this information because it also coincides with my impending full-time return to office (which I am not happy about) and I have begun to dread a return to a distracting atmosphere of constant small talk and office politics.
The principles in this book both help me reflect on my own weak areas, as well as gain understanding about navigating social situations that I observe or participate in.

Mindreader by David Lieberman is an excellent book that cuts through the social media clutter of explaining motivations and personality disorders. The author skillfully describes scenarios in which peoples motivations are fully explained, allowing the reader to easily step in to the situation and apply it to their own life. The shine in this book is on the explanations of personality disorders. As knowledge of narcissistic personality disorder and related Cluster B disorders permeate the mainstream, clear outlines on what NPD is and isn’t are needed. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about human motivation.

An informative valuable read.A book based on science a book that will help you understand and read people.# netgalley #mindreader

“Mindreader” by David J. Lieberman, PhD is a deep dive into the world of personalities and profiling. Lieberman gives hints and clues as to what behaviors and phrasings should be considered red flags in an attempt to help readers identify who can be trusted and who can’t be.

This book was an interesting read. Lieberman’s background with different law enforcement agencies helped create more interesting examples than some other psychology books I’ve read in the past. Little phrases here and there made me think of shows like Criminal Minds, and you all know I’m always here for moments like that.

In the end, I gave this book 4 stars. I was afraid it might become bogged down with technical language, but it was a quick read with lots of relatable examples (or at least examples that made sense in average life).

Thanks to NetGalley and Rodale Books for an ARC in exchange for my honest review. This book hits shelves August 16th!
