★理解人類兒童期發展最重要的心智養成書，孩子怎麼形塑「讀心」能力，建構生活中各種必要的技能？★為什麼讀心是我們生命的核心？因為我們都擅長解讀情緒，也會避開某些東西，因為我們害怕某些事物會激怒別人。但雖然我們和情緒朝夕相處，但讀心的副作用與不精確也有我們未解之處……你知道嗎？兒童期的心智發展對未來社交生活至為關鍵古人說：「三歲定終身」，或許過於誇張，但從心理學的角度來看，從呱呱墜地的嬰兒時期到上學這段期間，的確是兒童心理發展的關鍵期，因為這是培養「讀心」能力最重要的時期。無法讀心，如同生活在地球的火星人，無法理解人際互動和社會化的行為，說穿了，讀心就是一種心智發展的過程。書中研究指出，上小學之前，心智理論發展健全的小孩不會遇上沒朋友的問題。在這個過渡期，他們不一定很受歡迎，但至少會交到一個好朋友。這段友誼就能減輕沒朋友造成的「低自尊、社交焦慮、憂鬱、寂寞和自殺念頭」。換句話說，在這段時間心智理論若發展的好，即使未來在青少年階段遭遇社交問題，但他們能運用在兒童期就培養的社交能力，克服沒有朋友的困境，甚至是周遭人的辱罵與嘲笑。心智理論連結過去和現在的自己，決定我們過去、現在、未來會成為怎樣的人本書呈現了人類如何一步步建立心智理論，學會讀心；心智理論是一系列的發展，有階段步驟，而且非常迷人。每個階段若沒有充分發展，對兒童以及最終長成的大人，都會有負面影響；影響層面包括能否展現良好的社交能力、建立完整的生命故事、確實享受戲劇與電影，以及過自己想過的人生。理解了心智理論，我們就能更明白人性的本質、更了解兒童以及童年時的自己，也更能從他人身上交流學習，並且能將我們的人際關係處理得更好。為什麼我們能察言觀色，解讀人心？為什麼我們總是著迷於八卦？為什麼推理故事最受歡迎？為什麼我們會對著沒生命的布偶說話？為什麼我們喜愛超級英雄？我們怎麼辦到的？為什麼我們會發展出這些能力？什麼時候學會的？這些能力如何影響我們的生活、影響我們對自己的看法、行為以及和他人的互動？如果無法讀心，又會如何？這一切，要歸因於人類獨一無二的特質：心智理論。心智理論是我們用以思考群體生活、人際互動的能力，更是人類智力得以進化發展的關鍵基礎。本書將一一解答這一連串的問題。〈書評推薦〉「……一份有關發展心理學中最富饒和持久的研究計劃的易讀之作。」──哈佛大學教育學講座教授 保羅．哈利斯（Paul L.Harris）「亨利
