Title: The Art of Reading Minds
Author: Henrik Fexeus

Have you ever had that moment where you're talking to someone and you just know there's something they're not saying? Sam and Sophie dive into Henrik Fexeus's guide to understanding what people really think through body language, tone, and subtle cues.

They walk through the key frameworks: establishing a baseline to spot deviations, reading the lower body (your feet never lie), and interpreting clusters of behavior rather than isolated gestures. They also cover mirroring for rapport, vocal and breathing cues, and how to detect deception without falling for myths.

This episode is for anyone who wants to connect more deeply in conversations, whether in work, relationships, or everyday interactions. The takeaway: reading minds is really about paying attention—looking up from your own thoughts and truly seeing the person in front of you.
