🏆 <- this is for me for getting through this whole thing

I would recommend this book as a must have textbook if you are studying Health Psychology. It's very well written. It helped me understand everything that confused me from what I was being taught at university lectures. It's also helpful for exams as it gave me the basic idea of what a theory was all about, what was expected of me to know, what research so far had revealed etc. and then I just went online, found articles and built on that knowledge.

Read the whole book hastily for an exam. I think the presentation of subject matters was not very engaging, seemed rather superficial to me (oh well this is an introductory textbook so that can be - but in any case i've read better introductory textbooks).

Cover bukunya asikkk...betapa segitu rentannya menjaga keseimbangan kesehatan...
Buku ini memberi pandangan global yang lengkap tentang psikologi kesehatan, dengan penjelasan yang mudah dipahami. Ini buku teks pertama yang dengan amat-sangat-super-cepat (buat ukuran saya yang biasa membaca buku teks dengan kecepatan keong) bisa saya baca sampai selesai. Kebetulan sekali emang sedang butuh informasi :-)

Terima kasih buat Henndy Ginting yang mengizinkan untuk memfotokopi buku miliknya ini :-)
