Introduction

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. –Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle

We’ve long been fascinated by the science of rational deduction, deductive reasoning, mentalism, and other practices that one can reasonably approximate the act of mind reading on an unsuspecting victim. I’m not here today to promise you such superpowers instantly, nor am I here to dissuade you from your quest to acquire them. Let this book be more of a stepping stone in your journey toward a perfect consciousness and let me humbly guide you as far as I—in my limited human faculties—can take you.

Before you think too greatly or too lowly of me, allow me to lay bare the extent of my promises to you, dear reader. In the title, I promised to teach you how to read people like a book, and while I swear to the best of my ability to do just that, I warn you that the book is not akin to any fairy tale or other children’s story. No, in this book, you’ll learn to read people to the degree to which you might read Stephen Hawking’s A Brief History of Time, or perhaps Leo Tolstoy’s War and Peace—in its original Russian. That is to say that any reading of another person—no matter how skilled the observer—is likely to be complicated, arduous, and especially slow going.

As much as one might prefer to possess the effortless brilliance of Sherlock Holmes or some modern mentalist like James W. Williams, the truth is that when we allow ourselves to piece together tiny clues in hopes of forming a perfect image of a person, we leave ourselves open to the corrupting influence of extrapolation. We make up stories to fit the details we see and upon such a narrow viewing of our subject, we lose sight of the bigger picture and allow those pieces that don’t fit our constructed narrative to be lost.

Therefore, dear reader, throughout the course of these pages, let me impart on you as many facts as I dare, lest you make a capital mistake.
