In Read Your Mind: Proven Habits for Success from the World’s Greatest Mentalist, Oz Pearlman shares his distinctive methodology for mastering influence and human behavior. Drawing on his experience as a professional mentalist and entertainer, Pearlman shows how skills like observation of micro-expressions, active listening, pattern recognition, and ethical persuasion can be developed by anyone to build stronger relationships, gain trust, and achieve success in everyday life. He emphasizes that mind-reading isn’t supernatural, but a learnable set of tools if you pay attention to nonverbal cues and the underlying psychology of communication.

Pearlman then guides the reader through practical exercises and real-world applications of these tools—whether in negotiations, presentations, job interviews, or personal relationships. He also addresses mental blocks such as self-doubt, fear, and procrastination, offering strategies to overcome them and build enduring habits. Ultimately the book argues that by thinking like a mentalist you can unlock your full potential, connect more authentically with others, sharpen your cognitive and emotional intelligence, and lead with greater confidence¹.
