High school CP (non-honors) psychology textbook.
2008 edition.
I went through a really nice psychology phase last year. Saying “phase” sounds like a bad thing, but it’s not in this situation. This textbook was very fun to read. It was brief and easy to understand. My only complaint was that it didn’t talk about human sexuality and gender, which it defiantly should have.

Studied a semester of psych with this helpful textbook that has many example cases and many psychological understandings.

A good introductory text to psychology for an absolute beginner . Doesn't have more than the basic concepts and famous cases but it lays the groundwork for deeper studies .
