Speaking in Thumbs is an essential look at the love language of
text, helping you decipher the personalities of online daters, the
subtle signals from your romantic partner, and the red flags hiding
in plain sight. When it comes to modern relationships, our thumbs
do the talking. We swipe right into a stranger's life, flirt inside
text bubbles, spill our hearts onto the screen, use emojis to
convey desire, frustration, rage. Where once we pored over love
letters, now we obsess over response times, or wonder why the
three-dot ellipsis came . . . and went. Nobody knows this better
than Dr. Mimi Winsberg. A Harvard and Stanford-trained
psychiatrist, she co-founded a behavioral health startup while
serving as resident psychiatrist at Facebook. Her work frequently
finds her at the intersection of Big Data and Big Dating. Like all
of us, Winsberg has been handed a smart phone accompanied by the
urgent plea: 'What does this mean?' Unlike all of us, she knows the
answer. She is a text whisperer. Speaking in Thumbs is a lively and
indispensable guide to interpreting our most important medium of
communication. Drawing from of-the-moment research and a treasure
trove of real-life online dating chats, including her own, Winsberg
helps you see past the surface and into the heart of the matter.
What are the telltale signs of deception? How do we recognize
pathology before it winds up at our front door? How can we draw out
that important-but-sensitive piece of information - Do you want
kids? Do you use drugs? Are you seeing someone else? - without
sending a potential partner heading for the hills? Insightful,
timely and impossible to put down, Speaking in Thumbs is an
irresistible guide to the language of love. With wit and
compassion, Winsberg empowers you to find and maintain real
connection by reading between the lines.
