Just started reading this book - it was written in 2004 and I've been looking for a book like this for years.It is about how the mind works and is written in a way that allows the lay person to understand what the author is putting forth. It deals with many factors such as how we "read" each other during interaction and how and why we react to the things we do in the ways that we do.It's not a long book and the author places the most complex writing back in the endnotes. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0743241665/qid=1113024274/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/104-4209983-4383952
