    About this ebook

    Would you like to know what any person is thinking? Impossible? Not so, if you can master the ability to read micro-expressions. Micro-expressions are those subconscious, almost invisible expressions that people make when speaking and which reveal how they really feel about the subject at hand.

    In this book, body and facial language reading expert Dylan Clearfield will show you how you too can translate hidden thoughts that most people think they are concealing from you. He uses several well known personalities to demonstrate the techniques that can be learned by anyone who wishes to put in the effort to do so.

    Hitler is shown in a compromising situation on stage, Richard Nixon is caught abusing his audience, George Clooney is captured in his typical air of coolness, Sarah Palin is seen fantasizing over free condoms, and Oprah Winfrey offers a surprise reaction to success. All of the necessary techniques for reading micro-expressions are revealed by Mr. Clearfield. You can learn how to penetrate anyone’s subconscious and give yourself a fair advantage in any conversation or situation.

      Getting Started

      There is a way to know what a person is thinking. It isn’t a trick and it isn’t by magic. And it isn’t through clairvoyance, although I suspect that many so-called mind readers use the method I am about to describe, possibly without even knowing that they are using it. In one sense, it may truly be a gift they possess – one which they confuse with the paranormal.

      What I’m referring to is the ability to read a person’s micro-expressions. A micro-expression is a fleeting – almost imperceptible facial exhibition – that is produced by a person’s subconscious. It reveals what that individual is truly feeling. It is often exactly the opposite of the words being spoken.

      There are two ways to read micro-expressions: as they occur or after the fact with the use of pictures and other video. While reading micro-expressions after the fact has its uses, the most benefit is gained by reading them as they occur. It is immensely more difficult reading micro-expressions as they occur, but also immensely more beneficial as they reveal to the reader what the person who is speaking is truly feeling, despite the words they are stating.

      This concise but comprehensive work is going to focus on reading micro-expressions as they occurred by examining them frame by frame as captured on video. Most people can be successful at both methods. This doesn’t mean that it’s easy. But it is a skill that can be learned. And as with most other skills it is the practice of it which makes a person proficient at it.

      Some people will grasp the application of reading micro-expressions quickly. For others it may take longer. Just as in playing a piano or guitar.

      As an anthropologist, reading micro-expressions is a process I have been involved in for many years and have touched on the method in my earlier work, Analyzing Anyone on Sight. In this book I am going to expand upon the skill and reveal how anyone can read and understand the hidden thoughts of others by deciphering their micro-expressions.

      Images of well-known people will be used as subjects to study micro-expressions. Among the people selected for study will be: Adolf Hitler, Richard Nixon, George Clooney, Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Palin.

      Why this specific group of people? One reason is because they are public figures. But as importantly, each one of these individuals revealed a deeply hidden and highly important emotional response in their micro-expressions that were examined for this book. In these responses, each in his or her way highlighted a significant facet of studying micro-expressions that establishes the validity of this field of study. Hidden thoughts they were concealing were revealed and verified by the micro-expressions they were exhibiting while they were speaking in public.

      These celebrities later acknowledged that these hidden thoughts were what truly were in their minds at the time. That is why out of the hundreds of potential sources of study and hundreds of hours of examination of videos this one small group was chosen. Their secret revelations and the acknowledgement of them are incredibly rare.

      Before plunging into the subject of micro-expressions, however, a person must know how to recognize a micro-expression and to know exactly what to expect when looking for them. But even before that a person must know what not to look for in order to not waste time seeking the wrong clues.

      What a micro-expression is not

      A vital part in learning how to read micro-expressions is learning what a micro-expression is not. It saves a lot of time knowing what not to focus your attention on as already noted.

      A
