Do we all possess a dormant sixth sense that, if fully utilized, could allow us to intuit with great accuracy what other people are thinking? Internationally recognized psychologist William Ickes answers these and many other questions in this fascinating examination of the mind's potential for everyday mind reading. After developing an innovative video-based procedure for measuring the accuracy of people's empathic inferences, Ickes and his colleagues used this procedure to study different aspects of everyday mind reading in research conducted over the past 15 years.

Ickes also extends his inquiry to broader social questions. For example, are there ways of detecting when someone has a hidden agenda? Are there circumstances in which accurately reading an intimate partner's thoughts and feelings actually harms, rather than helps, the relationship?

Finally, what does the scientific evidence say about the widely debated notion of ESP.…
