Understanding people is one of the most powerful skills you can ever develop, and Patrick King’s Read People Like a Book breaks it down in a way that feels both practical and eye-opening. This episode explores the psychology behind how people communicate without words, showing you how body language, tone, habits, and even tiny behavioral cues can reveal someone’s emotions, intentions, and hidden motivations.

We look at how to notice subtle signals, how to avoid misreading people by understanding context, why lie detection is more complex than most think, and how personality patterns can help you predict someone’s next move. You’ll also learn how your own body language affects the way others read you, and how small changes can instantly improve how you connect with people. Whether you’re trying to build trust, protect yourself from manipulation, strengthen relationships, or simply understand human nature better, this conversation will give you a deeper, sharper, and more compassionate lens to view the people around you.

Change is one of the few guarantees in life, yet it still manages to catch us off guard. In Who Moved My Cheese?, Spencer Johnson uses a simple but unforgettable parable to show why some people stay stuck while others adapt and thrive when life shifts around them. Through the characters of two mice, Sniff and Scurry, and two little people, Hem and Haw, the story reveals exactly how fear, comfort, and old habits can trap us in place—even when the path forward is right in front of us.
In this episode, we break down the real meaning of “the cheese” in your life: the job you depend on, the relationships you cling to, the routines you’ve outgrown, or the dreams you keep delaying. You’ll hear how the parable teaches us to anticipate change, move with it, and even enjoy the adventure that comes with letting go of what no longer serves us. With clear insights and practical takeaways, this conversation helps you recognize when the cheese has been moved and how to step into your next chapter with confidence instead of fear.
If you’re facing a transition, resisting a shift, or simply trying to prepare yourself for life’s next unexpected turn, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to move forward.

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. This is the only authorized paperback edition in the US.
In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
