Publisher's Summary

Psychology for Dummies takes you on the challenging and thrilling adventure into the astonishing science of why we do the things we do. Along the way you'll find out how psychology helps us improve our relationships, make better decisions, be more effective in our careers, and avoid stress and mental illness in difficult times.

In a friendly, jargon-free style, clinical psychologist and teacher Adam Cash uses practical examples to delve deep into the maze of the human mind: from the basic hardware, software, and "wetware" of our brains to the mysteries of consciousness and the murkier reaches of abnormal behavior. He also provides profound insights into our wants and needs, the differences between psychological approaches, and how positive psychology can help you lead the "good life" that fulfills you most.

• Cope with stress and illness

A great book

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found the textbook to be wonderfully factual and I found great relation with the material. I further highly recommend this book.

narrator

great book. however, the whole time I invisioned a lizard man reading it in an orange tie because of the lisp.... no disrespect intended.

Quite interesting introduction

Quite interesting overview, worth listening to if you have an interest in psychology. There are quite a lot of references for further reading/listening and a nice selection of psychology tv shows/movies to watch
