Can you read minds Reading minds is easier than you think. Perhaps you have never thought of it, but you read minds of other people and they read your mind, every day. How do we do it? We do it automatically through attitude appraisals. Remember the song You do not Need to know the Language to say you are In love? Bing Crosby made it famous some years ago. There is a whole book ful of applied psychology packed into those simple lyrics. You do not need to know the language to say you are in love. Anyone who is ever been in love knows that. And you do not need know any language to say I like you or I despise you or I think you are important or unimportant or I envy you. You do not need to know words or to use words to say I like my job or I am bored or I am hungry. People speak without a sound. How we think shows through in how we act. Attitudes are mirrors of the mind. They reflect thinking. You can read the mind of the fellow sitting at a desk. You sense, by observing his expressions and mannerisms, how he feels towards his job. You can read the minds of salesmen, students husbands and wives; you not only can you do. The expert actors those in demand in movies and television year after year in a sense are not actors at all.
