A novel from the New York Times bestselling author that makes you question the nature of evil: is it born in us or is it bred?
SUPERLEAD
How does someone truly become evil? This is the question Bennie Rosato must answer after her twin sister Alice drugs her and leaves her for dead, buried underground in a remote field. As Alice slips easily into Bennie’s life, she never counts on the fact that Bennie is tougher than she seems and will escape. But escaping is only the first challenge. Alice has everyone convinced that she is Bennie and Bennie is her deranged twin sister Alice. As Bennie descends further into Alice’s life, she starts to feel the pull of evil herself. And as the clock ticks and Alice gets closer to her ultimate goal, Bennie must face the shocking truth that she is perhaps more like Alice than she ever realized...

In Personal Intelligence, Mayer explains that we are naturally SUPERLEAD curious about the motivations and inner worlds of the people we interact with every day. Some of us are talented at perceiving what makes our friends, family, and coworkers tick. Some of us are less so. Mayer reveals why, and shows how the most gifted “readers” among us have developed “high personal intelligence.” Mayer’s theory of personal intelligence brings together a diverse set of findings - previously regarded as unrelated - that show how much variety there is in our ability to read other people’s faces; to accurately weigh the choices we are presented with in relationships, work, and family life; and to judge whether our personal life goals conflict or go together well. He persuasively argues that our capacity to problem-solve in these varied areas forms a unitary skill. Illustrating his points with examples drawn from the lives of successful college athletes, police detectives, and musicians, Mayer shows how people who are high in personal intelligence are able to anticipate their own desires and actions, predict the behavior of others, and motivate themselves over the long term and make better life decisions. Personal Intelligence is an indispensable book for anyone who wants to better comprehend how we make sense of our world. 9780374534967
