How to Read People Like a Book

Patrick King argues that reading people is not intuition but a trainable skill built on one foundational method: establishing a behavioral baseline, then watching for deviations. From honest self-assessment to cultural context, from detecting micro-shifts in emotion to spotting outright deception, this book treats human behavior as a legible text. King examines how motivation drives action, why personality tests reveal less than we assume, and what specific cues betray a lie.

You'll learn:

- How to establish and use a behavioral baseline

- Why motivation matters more than personality labels

- The concrete signals that expose deception
