Interview with Thorsten Havener: The Art of Mind Reading and Body Language

How Do People React When They Meet You?

Question 1:
"Mr. Havener, one might say you professionally read minds. How do people react when they meet you after introducing themselves?"
Answer:
Normally, people state their names and greet me warmly. First impressions are key—authentic and positive body language is the secret to success.

Fearless Encounters – No Fear of Being Read

Question 2:
"Have you ever experienced someone refusing to speak with you for fear of being seen through?"
Answer:
On the contrary. Most people are curious and come in large numbers to listen to me—night after night. I’m not someone who instills fear; rather, I promote authentic communication.

The Secret Behind Talent and Rigorous Training

Question 3:
"Is your talent the result of magic, rigorous training, or a mix of both?"
Answer:
My success is based on a combination of continuous training, a deep understanding of body language, and a natural knack for interpreting people’s thoughts. Discover how you can improve your own communication skills!

Communication and Transparency – Are We Really Transparent?

Question 4:
"You say anyone can learn to read minds. Are we really that transparent?"
Answer:
We’re not transparent; we’re highly communicative beings. Unfortunately, many of us have forgotten how to actively listen and engage in genuine interpersonal interactions—instead, we’re too focused on our smartphones. Learn how to rekindle genuine interest in those around you!

Tips to Optimize Your Body Language

Question 5:
"Could one also train to avoid giving away telltale body movements, or are we inevitably easy prey for trained eyes?"
Answer:
Energy follows attention. If you focus too much on your tics, you come off as unnatural. The key to a relaxed appearance lies in your thoughts—when they are clear and positive, your body automatically follows the correct cues. Learn how to optimize your personal presence!

The 'Mind Reader's Rule of Three' – The Proper Sequence in Conversations

Question 6:
"What should laypeople especially pay attention to during a conversation?"
Answer:
Everything begins with a thought, followed by body language, and finally verbal communication. I call this the ‘mind reader’s rule of three.’ Genuine delight is first evident in one’s thoughts, then in a natural smile, and lastly in a warm greeting—never the other way around.

Personal Boundaries – When Thoughts Get Too Private

Question 7:
"Are there moments when you’d rather not know what the other person is thinking?"
Answer:
Certainly, there are such moments—for instance, when I ask my children to put their phones away or remind them about their vocabulary. Even experts have personal boundaries that must be respected.

People as Living Novels – Some More Captivating Than Others

Question 8:
"Would you say that people are like novels, some more interesting to read than others?"
Answer:
Absolutely! Some people are true bestsellers, while others resemble a cheap paperback. Every conversation holds the opportunity to uncover intriguing details and authentic stories.
