Psychology Squared: 100 Concepts You Should Know

by Christopher Sterling, Daniel Frings

Psychology is one of the most important applied sciences, investigating everything from the way we interact with each other to the means by which we perceive and interpret the world around us. This is vital to self-understanding, but to the outsider psychological concepts can all too often seem like a blur of jargon and buzzwords. Ever wondered how your thought process works? Why you act the way you do? How you learn and remember? Psychology Squared is the key to a better understanding of the way your mind works.

Psychology Squared is an accessible introduction to the evidence, theories and hypotheses that inform the modern science of the human mind. With 100 topics divided into 10 chapters, it guides the reader from basic concepts, through the current thinking about areas such as cognition, problem solving and emotion, to the latest ideas about psychological problems and interventions.

Psychology Squared is the ideal primer or refresher for those who want to get to grips with exactly what makes us tick— previously complex topics are made much more engaging and comprehensible with infographics and accessible text.

The book presents concepts of psychology which are easy written but missing many details.

[Angelika · Rating 2 out of 5]

Der Inhalt ist in Ordnung. Für jemanden der nichts über das Thema weiß definitiv gut um sich einen Überblick zu schaffen, aber die deutsche Ausgabe hat so unglaublich viele Grammatik- und Rechtschreibfehler. Dabei habe ich erst 1/3 des Buches gelesen. Schade!

[Phoebe Chin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good overview of psychological concepts for an absolute beginner. Because it is presented in bite-sized pieces, it is not very detailed. Recommended for clear and simple explanations but definitely dig deeper for more complete understanding.

Wie bereits in einer anderen Rezi erwähnt wurde, hat das Buch leider sehr viele Rechtschreib- und Grammatikfehler. Dennoch ist es für einen kurzen Überblick über die Theorien nützlich.
