2-3 stars. Good book and interesting but mostly stuff i learnt in my first year Psych classes. Still ok though.

for someone that has family with cognitive impairment or diagnosed with alzheimer's disease, it's a quick read to get into understanding the details of a functioning brain.

[Gergő Tóth · Rating 4 out of 5]

It's so short it feels like a longer article.

I guess you get what it says on the label, but this hovered around a 3.5. for me

It was quite interesting, but felt quite textbooky at the beginning: "here are 10 parts of the brain and what they all do" etc... I skipped that (quite substantial) part

It had a weird mix of going into not much detail and going into so many details where I lost the plot, but overall it was a fairly easy read and a good starting point as it mentions a couple of famous studies done.

It's a short read which is good if you are unsure whether to invest your time or not.

10 Min Social Psychology

Great findings. Interesting references to social experiments. The author includes relatable situations in which we all conform to social norms. A short read but pertinent information. Overall, a 4 star read.

[Stefan Mitchell-Lauridsen · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is a fairly easy read and have a few good everyday points that some people can forget in their everyday life.
I would say that this bokk is a quick and easy reminder on how people should behave and it got me thinking about my own behaviour.

Even if the book do not go in to deepened on some medical behaviour it is still worth reading.

Ilustrates concepts


Good to read to remember things you already know and they have its name and for normal people its a good read to be aware of the social psychology.

Read this book for a class assignment. It was alright, kind of repetitive to stuff I learned in undergrad.

Quick read but spot on

This was a good book with a basic overview of social psychology. It served as refresher for me and I enjoyed it.
