Very very informative but it did send me down multiple existential crises while reading because now what do i do with my life :)

There is a lot of useful information in this book. I do think it needs some minor updating as information changes so regularly, but it was a very informative introduction. I will say that I did get a bit frustrated with some of the sections that felt very incomplete and I found myself resorting to the apa website or other online sources to clarify a few things. It’s a good intro but do not expect too much as I found that the author left a lot of information unanswered.

great intro to the major. Learned a lot of new interesting things. I really liked all the different examples add studies they used to make their points. also there was a great review of things I have already learned previously in other classes.

Had hoped for more in-depth info about the various sub-fields of psychology.
