Unlock the Secrets of Professional Cold Reading with Charlton Hall, PhD!
In The Cold Reader’s Bible, retired psychotherapist Charlton Hall, PhD will delve into the compelling world of psychic phenomena.
Drawing on his extensive background in psychology and psychotherapy, Hall explores the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that fuel belief in psychics. He dissects how cognitive biases, such as the Forer Effect (also known as the Barnum Effect) and confirmation bias, shape our perceptions and lead us to accept vague and generalized statements as personal truths.

This thought-provoking book not only challenges the validity of psychic claims but also provides a fascinating examination of the human mind’s susceptibility to extraordinary beliefs.
