Tips, tricks and life lessons to optimize your mind.
This compelling memoir makes you feel like you’re right there, along for the ride. Oz offers valuable reminders on persistence and staying calm under pressure, while beautifully demonstrating the power of interpersonal skills, human connection and self-reflection. In a world focused on tech, this book is a refreshing guide to developing these essential human attributes. As for me and the journey I am currently on, the story of ‘the guy with the crazy eyes’ that haunted Oz for a year really resonated. We’re all on some kind of journey, use this book as a tool to help you get to where you want to be.Tyson Schoel

High-level insight into Mentalism
This was truly a pleasure to read, and Oz provides incredible insight into how to better understand read people. His effortless ability to recall specific stories in his life that have lead him to where he is today makes it all the more enjoyable to read. Once I started, I simply could not put the book down. The combination of valuable life lessons, psychological knowledge, and storytelling makes it unlike any other book I’ve ever read. I could not be a bigger supporter of purchasing this book if anyone is eager to learn how the mind works, and all the little mental & physical cues that one can pick up on.

More of an autobiography than anything.
I really wanted to like this book. I saw an interview with the author on television and was intrigued. But I only got though a few chapters before giving up. The author does have a few good suggestions, but for me this book was more of a vehicle for the author to tell the story of his life. A great deal of each chapter was devoted to the author’s personal experience, and I did not find it relatable. I was looking for more of a step by step methodology of things I could incorporate into my life, and this is not that.

WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE!
As a Partner at a civil-rights firm in NYC, I’m accustomed to reading depositions, interrogating witness statements, and parsing what someone really meant when they said “I don’t recall.” But I never expected to learn how to read my own mind—let alone everyone else’s—until I cracked open this book by Oz Pearlman.From the first chapter, Pearlman takes you behind the curtain of his celebrated mental-magic career and offers concrete, no-nonsense mental “habits” rather than flashy illusions. He shows you how to sharpen your memory, build confidence, read a room, influence without manipulation, and tame your internal “objection” voice (yes, I’m looking at you, inner colleague who loves to say “Sustained!”)Oz Pearlman | Mentalist+2Amazon+2For my day job—litigating police-brutality and false-arrest cases—I already thought I had a pretty decent radar for human behavior. This book upgraded that radar into a tactical advantage. But more importantly, it’s the internal work (habits, mindset, emotional insight) that hits hardest. Pearlman reminds you: it’s not about “mind-reading” like a magic trick—it’s about mindset mastery that unlocks influence, connection, clarity.Barnes & Noble+1And yes: it’s life changing. I’ve already caught myself pausing before entering a negotiation prep, applying one of his techniques to visualize the outcome—and it works. (No illusions involved.) Even my kids asked: “Dad, did you read my mind?” — I told them: not quite, just read your room (six-year-old Sunny still thinks I’m magic; four-year-old Lux is suspicious of Dad’s super-powers).Bottom line: If you’re done with fluff self-help books and want something that actually shifts how you think, how you connect, and how you act—don’t just buy this book—commit to it. Pearlman gives you the tools. You bring your suit (metaphorically—or literally, if you’re a lawyer).Thank you, Oz. I’m never going back to “just winging it” in a conference room—or a courtroom.

More Memoir Than “Proven Habits”
I’m about 100 pages in, and I still can’t identify the “proven habits” for success that the book promises. The content so far amounts to very basic advice—things like taking notes about people or having a backup plan or shaking off rejection—none of which is new or particularly insightful.Because of how this book was marketed, I was genuinely excited to dive in, but the substance just doesn’t match the pitch. At its core, this reads more like a general self-help book with the author’s personal story woven throughout and the occasional tip sprinkled in. It’s not a bad read, but it’s certainly not what is advertised.

Not what I expected…
I’m on chapter 3, so I’ll update this review once completed (if warranted).What this books is: a feel good book that tells you to believe in yourself, to visualize success, and how to be mentally strongWhat this book is not: how to better read people and how to have better intuition about people (e.g., are they a good person, are they trustworthy)

Insightful Guide to Understanding People
Oz’s Read Your Mind is a surprisingly engaging and insightful read. It breaks down complex ideas about intuition, communication, and human behavior in a way that feels easy to absorb and genuinely useful. I’ve known him since I was a little kid, him and my dad used to run together everyday, so I had to buy this book! The stories and examples make the concepts stick, and the pacing keeps you turning pages. Whether you’re looking to better understand others or sharpen your own awareness, this book delivers practical takeaways without feeling heavy. Great guy, great book, definitely deserves a read.

Get through the first chapter and the book becomes a much better read. The first chapter was tough to read. There seemed to be AI generated content in it.

Oz is a man with a strong character, not only is he a mentalist, and magician he is also an ultra marathoner. He says he doesn’t read minds he reads people. He has expanded his mind thru education and experience. Very impressive! Good read!

Not Very interesting reading, I thought I was going to learn something valuable but it was a big disappointment. He doesn’t reveal any secrets about mentalism. I didn’t learn anything new.
