About the Author
Nicholas Epley is a renowned psychologist and professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where he directs the Center for Decision Research. His groundbreaking work explores the intricacies of human cognition, particularly how we perceive and misperceive the thoughts, emotions, and intentions of others. Drawing from decades of experimental research, Epley challenges conventional wisdom about empathy and social understanding, revealing the surprising gaps in our mental models of the world. A frequent contributor to leading publications like The New York Times and Scientific American, he bridges academic insight with accessible storytelling to illuminate why we so often get each other wrong. Through his acclaimed book Mindwise: Why We Misunderstand What Others Think, Believe, Feel, and Want, Epley offers practical tools for fostering deeper connections in an increasingly divided society.
