Description
Pushpendra Mehta, writer, marketer, and mentor, has been an observer of human behavior all his life. Inspired by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's memorable fictional detective character, Sherlock Holmes, Pushpendra realized people drop subtle clues to their true nature, which is often hidden behind masks. The more he watched and studied, the better able he was to discern who people truly were.
In 2019, he answered a question-"What small thing can tell you a lot about a person?"-that was posted on Quora, a popular question-and-answer website. His answer received over 1 million views. This unexpected response led him to write Observe to Unmask, in which he explains what we can learn about people based on their conversations (including social media posts), interests, behavior, emotions, thoughts, and more.
Packed with intriguing insights, Observe to Unmask is useful in understanding not only the people in our personal and professional lives, but can act as a guide for self-reflection and improvement. Short and easy to read, it is a book you will turn to again and again, always finding something new and worthwhile.
Observe to Unmask will sharpen your ability to draw conclusions quickly and accurately from the smallest observations. It will help you develop positive relationships or harmonious associations that work for you and make you happier; assist you in comprehending an individual's backstory; prevent you from being exploited, abused, manipulated, or lied to; aid you in distancing yourself from negative or toxic people, or avoiding them as much as possible.

I was drawn to this book because of the sociology aspect to it. I find human nature fascinating and I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this book. The concepts were easy to read, easy to understand and thought-provoking. I particularly enjoyed the questions he asked. It made me look into my own life and evaluate my habits and the habits of my friends and family. I found myself nodding along as I read the book, engaged with the author and agreeing with much of his book.

I love a book that reads as it was written from both the heart and the gut and this right here packs a punch. Small things we overlook but they make our relationships, how we view the world, perceive ourselves, go after our dreams... it's such an insightful and fun book to read.
Thanks Netgalley for the eARC.

In OBSERVE TO UNMASK, Pushpendra Mehta offers the insights gained from a lifetime of observation. Kind, perceptive, and intelligent, this book felt like a fresh and energizing view into who we are and how we see one another and live in this world. I felt smarter, calmer, and motivated to genuinely see and behave with integrity, compassion, and kindness. A very fast and satisfying read that felt like a conversation with a wise and trusted friend. I received an advance reader copy of this fine book from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my unbiased review.

Short and insightful thoughts about human nature and human behaviour. based on the author's personal experiences. Many I agreed with, some I disagreed with, some I need time to think about and observe people around me to see if I find it true for me.
The sort of book that's probably best not read all the way through, but dipped in and out of..
The only thing I don't like is the title of the book - it's very vague and doesn't entice you to pick it up - which is a shame because there is a lot of learn from this book.
Santiago D, Reviewer
Interesting short book about understanding others using their behavior.
On one side it has a few,very few in my opinion,interesting revelations that may be useful to actually understand others.On the other side it is totally unscientific and based on the author opinion and personal experience,with some "keys" that are basically guesses.
Half of the book deserves 5 stars,there are very intriguing insights,the other half doesn't deserve them.
3-4 stars.

I have a love-hate relationship with this book. I hate it because of the times that it appeared stereotypical, biased presumptuous. I love it for being so on point. Plenty of material for one to mull over and reflect.
A bunch of thanks to NetGalley and BooksGoSocial for this free ARC. This review is of my own accord with no monetary compensation whatsoever from the names mentioned above and/or the rightful owners of this ARC.

I received a complimentary copy of Observe to Unmask from NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are entirely my own.
This was a very helpful book! I recognized myself, my husband and others in my life. I think I read several parts of this novel more than once...I plan to read it again. Anyone needing or wanting to better understand other people’s motivations really should read this book!
