    About this audiobook

    What does a yearbook photo have to do with future marital success? Can the CEO's appearance tell you anything about a company's quarterly earnings? In The Tell, psychologist Matthew Hertenstein reveals that our intuition is surprisingly good at using small clues to make big predictions, and shows how we can make better decisions by homing in on the right details. Drawing on rigorous research in psychology and brain science, Hertenstein explains how to hone our powers of observation to increase our predictive capacities. By training ourselves to read facial and bodily cues, we can accurately predict everything from divorce rates to sexual preferences, election results to the likelihood of corporate success. A charming testament to the power of the human mind, The Tell will, to paraphrase Sherlock Holmes, show us how to notice what we see.

      very well spoken and a good breakdown on the many tells that humans have . But a hard book too stay interesting but that's only a technical problem thanks to genre & personal taste .


    • 4/5
      Really informative book. Goes to prove that you can judge a book by its cover a good percentage of the time
    • 4/5
      Interesting enough. More modern and simplified than I expected yet useful for a one-time read...
    • 4/5
      A very interesting book about snap judgements. The author covers all spectrums of life from infancy, autism, education, politics, dating, divorce and many more. Along the way, he points out how quickly and accurately some facts become inevitable to the observer.
