Reviews

[Alyson Walton]

Great book that answered some of the questions that were on my mind.
Very useful insight into the basics, no great depth but this is what this book is for.

This book presents the field of psychology in a very simple, yet interesting way. It helps to understand psychological processes that rule our life since birth. I really liked the part about addiction and about learning. I will definitely look into psychology more after reading this. So all in all - Understand Psychology is a good starting point for your journey with psychology. I will leave it on my Kindle so I can get back to it in the future ;)

Why not 5 stars then? Some parts of the book are a bit dragged out and in too much detail. I wouldn't expect that in an introductory level book, because it can confuse the reader a bit.

A crash course introduction into Psychology and all that’s touched by it — from historical development, to famous experiments, theories, schools of thought, types of psychology and renowned theorists.
In 17 chapters, the author covers the different parts and stages of our lives touched by psychology.

It’s quite a heavy book and I had to literally stop after every chapter to digest and let my brain rest — but a great read for anyone interested in psychology and the human mind.

[Ming]

Good broad overview of the subject, with examples that helps the reader relate it to almost all aspects of everyday life. A good way to gain insight into yourself and the people around you.

Lacks detail, but that's forgivable because the subject is so wide-ranging.

Wish that he didn't plug his companion book quite so often, though.

[Tohko]

Good simple introduction to psychology and covers it in much breadth but was expecting some more information on the main thinkers in the field and the development of psychological theory. Easy, digestible read nevertheless with some nice insights. Particularly found the chapters on social motivation, childhood and social identification interesting.

[Ivan Elianto]

At first, it seem so boring, but after some period of time, it just like "What? The topic has finished? I need to know more!".

This book explain briefly about psychology in many aspect, with common English words so that even non-native English speaker could understand it easily. From this book, I realize how big is psychology, it just like there's another world.

[VC Gan]

I've always wanted to pick Psychology as a major and this book explores many different areas of applied psychology. I find this book fairly informative and easy to read. Definitely highly recommended for anyone who has interests in learning psychology.

[Linda Margata]

Everything written was based on scientific research which gives reliable information about how people's mind work.

[Julian]

I found this an easy and interesting read. It reminded me of a school textbook (in a good way). It took a lot of complicated and broad topics and broke them down in a way that was easy to understand even with little to no prior knowledge about psychology. I particularly appreciated the "key idea" blurbs throughout, and the "focus points" summarizing what was discussed at the end of each chapter.

[Maya]

Short and insightful introduction to the topic of psychology. Nice if you don’t know a lot about it and want to gain more insight. If not, then it might be a bid boring. (skipped some chapters and sub-topics)

[Sina]

Informative but maybe a touch "too simply" written, kept things largely on the surface.

[Scott MacDonald]

Light touch explanations around a very deep topic.

[Alicia A]

A great introductory book of daily life psychology

[Victor Bolbot]

A good introductory book to pschycology.

[Linda]

Interesting and informative!

[Manahil]

a laconic aspect of psychology is covered through and through a very interesting read

[Mansour Mangambit]

A great intro to psychology!

[Emma]

Interesting and helpful guide on human thoughts and behavior.

[Krista]

[Kendra Lancaster]

This is a great little book if you need a brief intro to psychology or a refresher!

[Mohamed Almatrooshi]

Great introductory book about understanding psychology.

[Lucesita J]

It's a summary about many different psychology tests, insigths and reflections. Despide being just a summary, there are so many interesting insights that my mind was blown up several times. This books invites me to investigate more about this branch of knowledge.

[Natalia]

It's a fascinating intruduction into different psychology related topics which speaks about interesting experiments, summarises research, explains the mechanisms of the way things work and gives answers to a lot of "whys" and "hows" that not many people know. I've been reading books on psychology since I was 15, and this is one of those I would highly recommend to anyone who's interested.

[Tiago F]

Great book.

If you want an overview of the field of psychology, look no further. Very easy to read, well organized with useful bullet-points at the end of each chapter. Each chapter doesn't go very in-depth, but it's a necessary evil from what the book is trying to accomplish since the field is so broad.

[Caragh]

This book was exactly what I needed! I am doing psychology for the first time in university and I was a wee bit clueless! This book explained things in a way that was easy to understand. I am so glad I found it!

[Rich]

An interesting introduction to an interesting subject.

I was considering studying psychology at uni. This was one of the many books I picked to do my research and I found it very interesting. Worth a read if you are new to psychology.

[Noorin Hasan]

Very basic with limited examples.

[Steve Fenton]

This book is a great introduction to Psychology - one of the few that reads well from cover to cover.
