by Nicholas Epley
Epley reveals we are far worse at reading minds than we think - our confidence routinely outstrips accuracy. The best remedy isn't more intuition but simply asking people directly.
The books Nicholas Epley references, cites, and recommends most frequently.
by Daniel Kahneman
Kahneman reveals that our minds run on two systems: fast intuition and slow deliberation. Most errors in judgement come from trusting System 1 when the situation demands System 2's careful analysis.
by Daniel Goleman
Goleman argues that EQ matters more than IQ for success. Self-awareness, empathy, and emotional regulation are skills that can be developed and that predict real-world outcomes.
