I feel that I’ve missed out on a large part of my education and am only coming to terms now with the breadth of my ignorance in many fields. One of those is Psychology, which up until recently I had mostly disregarded as being philosophy for those not really smart enough to do philosophy.
But I’ve found myself becoming increasingly fascinated by the consistent and logically surprising errors we humans are all too prone to. It seems there is more to psychology than either wanting to have sex with one’s mother or racing mice through a maze. And this more has implications for ethics, political science, economics and why I have put on so much weight lately (that is, questions I am deeply interested in) that I can no longer afford the luxury of ignoring psychology by referring to it as a ‘science’ whilst sniggering behind my hand.
So, what to do? My good friends on good reads have been keeping me busy with suggested titles; too many, to be honest. But even that hasn’t proven to be enough. When I saw this one I decided this would be just the thing to give me just enough of an introduction to the vast world of psychology.
Okay, this actually gives an introduction to the wonderful world of Popular Psychology, but given it also included summaries of some of the works of Freud (or as that Bill and Ted refer to him – Frood Dude), Adler, Pinker, Sacks, Erickson and so, I figured it would probably be a more than adequate summary of the field.
Some of these books I’ve already read. Pinker’s Blank Slate, for example, and Gladwell’s Blink. Others I’ve read other books by the same author. I haven’t read Sack’s The Man who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, but I have read his Seeing Voices, Island of the Colour Blind and Awakenings. It looks like I will need to read the first mentioned now too.
There are other books here that I had already decided to not read. And this shows one of the real advantages on this site. One quite quickly learns to trust the opinions of certain people here. For example, I really enjoyed a review by Jennie of The Female Brain (http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/...) mostly because what she had to say more or less confirmed by prejudices on a lot of what is said about the differences between male and female brains. Having been brought up with two sisters and a brother a lot of what passes for absolute differences between the sexes strikes me as tending towards the lies or possibly even damned lies end of the statistics continuum. The review in this book did nothing to change my view or to invalidate Jennie’s visceral reaction to the book.
This book is well worth reading – especially if you are like me and haven’t read as many of these books as perhaps I should have. It is beautifully structured. Firstly, it is alphabetical, by author. Now, why I like this is because ever since Darwin we have tended to have an incredibly stupid idea that knowledge ‘evolves’ and that stuff that was written a long time ago is simply not as worthwhile as stuff that was written recently. Sometimes this is the case – especially in a fast developing field like psychology – but often it is just nonsense. Alphabetical mixed up the authors in a nice way and gets rid of our internal ladder that would have been there if the books had been arranged by publication date, for example.
One of the things that struck me was how many of these people had changed their names – and not just their first names, but even their surnames. I’ve said elsewhere that I have been finding how unimaginative I am, and this is another instance. It would literally never occur to me to change my surname.
The other interesting thing about the structure of this one is that the reviews of each of the texts is structured so that you get some quotes from the book, then the idea of the book in a nutshell, then a discussion of the content of the book, then some final thoughts summing up the book, then a brief biog of the writer. As I said, I’ve read some of these books already and so found the reviews contained in this book as good as some of the best reviews provided here on this site. These are Manny quality reviews.
Many of the books I will do no more than read the reviews printed here. I’m just not interested enough in psychosis or other dysfunctions to be bothered reading further on these subjects. But some of these reviews have made me want to read more of the authors discussed. V. S. Ramachandran is definitely one of those. His work on phantom limbs was one of the most interesting things discussed in The Mind that Changes Itself. He sounds like an utterly fascinating character.
The other is Stumbling On Happiness, which I’m about half way through already (having only started it yesterday) and is proving to be one of the best books I’ve read in ages. Unfortunately, I’ve been reading so many books on these topics lately that my head is spinning a little. Like I said, I feel like a whole world has been opened up for me and I’m a little like the kids in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory after they are first let loose amongst all of the delights.
So, for what this book seeks to achieve, it achieves it very well.

لا تستهويني هذه الكتب التي تعتمد على الفصول المتنوعة أكثر من اللازم. ولكنني سمعت هذا الكتاب يناديني أثناء إحدى زياراتي للمكتبة. وأنا لا أستطيع أن أخذل كتاباً يناشدني مهما كان مبلغ الخلافات بيننا.
كما يمكن أن يتوقع القارئ، فالكتاب يطرح ملخصاً لخمسين كتاباً من أهم الكتب في العلم النفس. كل فصل يقدم كتاباً مع نبذة مختصرة عن محتواه وعن المؤلف. كان اختيار الكتب موفقًا إلى حد جيد من حيث تنوع المواضيع وشهرة الكاتب وأهمية أفكار الكتاب. سبق أن قرأت بعضاً من تلك الكتب مثل: الإنسان يبحث عن المعنى، الرجل الذي يحسب زوجته قبعة، ظلام مرئي، المؤمن الصادق. البعض الآخر كانت لدي عنه فكرة جيدة مثل: الانعكاس الشرطي، تفسير الأحلام، الأنا وآليات الدفاع.
كما يمكن للقارئ أن يتوقع فملخصات الكتب مخلة نوعاً ما، وأحياناً قد لا تعكس محتوى الكتاب بشكل منصف. ومع ذلك فقد خرجت منه ببعض الأفكار الجديدة وبعض الترشيحات.
بالإضافة إلى ما قد سبق فقد نكأ فيّ هذا الكتاب جرحاً أصبت به منذ عام تقريباً، حيث جرى نقاش حاد للغاية مع أحد الأصدقاء الذي أخبرني بكل ثقة أن التنمية البشرية هي فرع من فروع علم النفس، فيما أنكرت أنا أي صلة لها به. يبدو أن كلينا اتخذ موقفاً متطرفاً في النقاش. ومع ذلك فمنذ ذلك الحين، وبعد قراءة هذا الكتاب، فلم يتغير رأيي في علم النفس ولا في التنمية الذاتية، وهذا إقرار مني بذلك.

يستحق هذا الكتاب خمسة نجوم لأنه قدم أعظم خمسين كتاب في علم النفس بطريقة مبهرة ومبسطة وكأنه يقول للقاريء لا عذر لك في عدم اطلاعك على مقدمات علم النفس لكي تفهم طبيعة نفسك... كثير من فصول الكتاب ملهمة وتقدم لك اقتراحات للكتب التي قد تود التوسع في مواضيعها.

This book as the title implies, briefly surveys 50 psychology classics. Is the abstractions good enough to provide you with the big picture? I don't think so.
I couldn't figure out what the purpose of this book was, yet I managed to add several titles for further readings.
Amongst these 50 titles I already have consumed 8 of them and the presentations provided in the book by no means were crafted in a worthy manner.
So, I would not recommend this book since it neither provides you with any cohere history of psychology nor would it serve as a proper introduction to the titles included.
I guess I have a mild OCD of having to finish what I've started, so that's why I've tolerated the shallowness of the book :D

Доста полезна книга за запознаване с основните теории в психологията за начинаещи в областта. Представени са 50 книги по психология - както класически, така и модерни - с основните им идеи, важни цитати и кратка биография на автора. Набелязах си някои четива.
Допадна ми това, че авторът се старае да е обективен, придържа се към фактите и не затъва в утвърждаването или отричането на конкретна доктрина. Освен това книгата е възхитително лишена от нюейджарски глупости.

This book is an easy introduction to the current state of popular psychology (or rather to the arrival of serious psychological research into mainstream culture).
It is particularly valuable for anyone whose education in these matters ended before the massive flow of insights since the early 1980s on sexual difference, techniques of persuasion, emotional intelligence and the actual rather than theoretical workings of the unconscious.
The psychologists are a-political in general but their findings generally place to one side and forever the theory of the 'blank slate' that has driven so much progressive thinking for so long.
Men and women are now recognised as thinking profoundly differently for very fundamental hormonal and brain structure reasons. Society is better for that common sense realisation - even if ageing feminists of both sexes just cannot get their head around this fact of life.
The new gender psychology gives its due to both sexes' rights to negotiate their own sexual identity and remain responsible for themselves. I guess that our kids are going to be a lot more 'together' (on average) than anyone hitting their late 30s and above.
As for the manipulative aspects of psychology, thinking on these matters started as early as Stanley Milgram's experiments and the analyses of the Jonestown massacre in the 1970s.
It has taken almost thirty years and Abu Ghraib (and recent child abuse scandals) for it to sink into public consciousness that any claim of authority must be looked on with a very jaundiced eye if we are to avoid being dragged back into the social criminalities of the last century.
This, too, is fundamentally political. If the rising generations are conservative, they are also profoundly distrusting of the State and libertarian - and often more highly educated and resistant to the persuasive techniques of the market.
They will accept the latter but only as a form of permanent consumer-led entertainment, a process helped by the critical role of new technologies in moving sentiment against those who would manipulate too crassly. On the other hand, through movements like NLP, 'manipulation' has become democratised, creating an uncertain environment in interpersonal relations.
It may take a while for these changes to work through the system. Post-35 voters clearly dominate the agenda in recent US elections (this review has been revised slightly since it was originally written in 2008).
Each book is covered in a short, usually six-page, summary, that helps one choose which books might be chosen to read later because of one's particular interests.
The author (who has produced recent similar guides on self-help, spiritual and wealth creation) has a talent for distilling complex arguments into sufficient narrative that you move on feeling that you have both learnt something and want to learn more.
The only quibble is a common irritation that publishers always seem to insist on introducing books or ideas alphabetically - an irrational approach derived from the dictionary and encyclopedia. This is wholly inappropriate for contextual learning, ironically showing that the publishers and author (in this case) have not mentally moved on from older patterns of thinking.
This approach weakens the reader's ability to see how the discipline of psychology has developed, from William James, Sigmund Freud and Jean Piaget to Pinker, Seligman, Schwartz, Gladwell, Brizendine and Gilbert.
Fortunately, the author is intelligent enough to provide a useful introduction on the 'themes' at the beginning of the book and then a chronological list of texts (and another 50 influential books also introduced chronologically) at the back. Highly recommended.

In an effort to become the supreme expert on everything important within my friend cycle I have been reading smart not hard.
To cover the natural sciences I simply read "A short history of nearly everything"; for history a read "The story of man", "The Mental Floss History of the World" and "Fifty Things You Need to Know about World History"; I covered genetics and biology in one with Richard Dawkins "The selfish gene"; Philosophy was more difficult and I might have made the wrong move with "The history of western philosophy" which seems too complex for beginners; Managed to learn about Hinduism and cognitive science in one go with "The embodied mind"; And most of both neuroscience and evolutionary psychology beautifully summarised by the great Robert Winston in "The human mind" and "Human instinct" respectively.
Most recently I have been saved the trouble of reading 50 psychology classics which is fantastic because truthfully a lot of these books (particularly the older ones) did strike me as unscientific nonsense. But even those were made interesting when given the context of the ideas, the story of the author and the way their ideas shaped attitudes since.
However many of these books really struck a cord with my own thinking and I am extremely grateful to the author for getting the main points across in a mere chapter.
The gems for me were; "I'm Ok- youre ok", "The seven principals for making marriage work", "Obedience to authority", "The will to meaning" and definitely Skinners "Beyond Freedom and Dignity".
I think I will also go and actually read "The origin of everyday mood" and "The paradox of choice".

„50 класици на психологията“ обобщава най-важните идеи от отделянето на психологията като самостоятелна наука през 70-те години на 19.век до днес. За нейни основатели се смятат Вилхелм Вунд, за когото психологията е емпирична в сравнение с философията и по-фокусирана върху ума от физиологията, затова трябва да се изучава самостоятелно, и философът Уилям Джеймс (брат на писателя Хенри Джеймс).
Опитах да представя най-важното в няколко изречения за всеки от изброените автори, като добавих българската корица на книгите им, ако са издавани у нас. За мен този обзор беше много полезен, представен безпристрастно и достъпно. Набелязах си допълнително литература и нови области на интерес. Ще представя учените в три части, някои по-подробно, някои по-сбито в зависимост от личните ми пристрастия.

The book offers an interesting snapshot on psychology and the self. It's a good starting point to find out basic information about several great minds and ideas, and each subject can be followed up by reading the books related to certain chapters. I specifically liked the parts relating to authentic happiness, the brain and its phantoms, genuineness and non-possessive love, feelings as mirrors of our thoughts, thinking patterns, communicational situations, the differences between the wiring of men and women... It was an educational and fun read!

A good introduction to some of the most prominent figures in Psychology, with a summary of the most important ideas, similar books and a short bio on each of the 50 personalities.
Read this if you want a brief intro and lots of recommendations for future lectures.

برأيّ إنّه كتاب مُهم لأي شخص مُهتَم بعلم النفس.. وهوّ عبارة عن طريق مُختصر لأخذ فكرة عن علم النفس بشكل شامل وكُلّي (فكرة عن الكتُب وكُتّابِها).
تنوع الكتُب ومحتواها هيّ اللي حمستني أختم الكتاب بالزيادة على اِهتمامي بهذا المجال.

Корисна книга.
Стислий і як мені здається, влучний опис основних робіт пов'язаних з психологією. Вибудовує загальну історію розвитку сфери (якій всього лиш 100 років) та розширює обривочні знання які в мене були з мемів про Фройда і т.д.
Головне що книга дає - можливість зрозуміти куди цікаво заглибитись більше.
Я собі відмітив десяток робіт які тепер цікаво прочитати повністю.

У мене віднедавна з’явився план: зібрати й прочитати якомога більше книг Тома Батлера-Боудона із його серії 50 Classics. Бо те, як він обирає й передає інформацію про найвидатніші праці науковців тієї чи іншої галузі, варте уваги (та й поваги також).
У цьому виданні зібрані 50 видатних книг із психології. Здавалося б, як можна переказати таку кількість розмірковувань, пошуків, відкриттів понад 130-літньої історії психології, вмістивши все це лише на 500 сторінках? Виявляється, можна, якщо ти — Том Батлер-Боудон)))
Розпочинається огляд книгою В. Джеймса "Принципи психології", написаною 1890 року. Логічно, чи не так? А оскільки автор поставив за мету хоча б частково пояснити читачеві людську природу, то тут знаходяться й "Тлумачення снів" З. Фройда, й "Розуміння людської природи" А. Адлер, й "Виміри особистості" Г. Айзенка, й "Архетипи й колективне підсвідоме" К. Г. Юнга.
Із постулатами, викладеними в "Сексуальній поведінці жінки" А. Кінсі, мені хотілося посперечатися (звісно, від часу написання цієї праці минуло майже 70 років). Дещо із "Покори авторитету" С. Мілґрема дало змогу по-іншому оцінити певні вчинки конкретних людей. А над "Структурою розуму" Г. Ґарднера я довго розмірковувала й вирішили прочитати його книгу цілком.
Власне, саме для цього — визначити, що читачеві найцікавіше, й спрямувати його до літератури, яка дасть змогу поглибити необхідні знання, — й пише свої книги Том Батлер-Боудон. У насиченому інформацією, й науковою також, світі дуже легко заблукати, якщо рухатися без вказівників. "Психологія. 50 видатних книг" — саме така річ для зацікавлених у глибшому ознайомленні з цією наукою.

Розпочинається огляд книгою В. Джеймса "Принципи психології", написаною 1890 року. Логічно, чи не так? А оскільки автор поставив за мету хоча б частково пояснити читачеві людську природу, то тут знаходяться й "Тлумачення снів" З. Фройда, й "Розуміння людської природи" А. Адлер, й "Виміри особистості" Г. Айзенка, й "Архетипи й колективне підсвідоме" К. Г. Юнга.
Із постулатами, викладеними в "Сексуальній поведінці жінки" А. Кінсі, мені хотілося посперечатися (звісно, від часу написання цієї праці минуло майже 70 років). Дещо із "Покори авторитету" С. Мілґрема дало змогу по-іншому оцінити певні вчинки конкретних людей. А над "Структурою розуму" Г. Ґарднера я довго розмірковувала й вирішили прочитати його книгу цілком.
Власне, саме для цього — визначити, що читачеві найцікавіше, й спрямувати його до літератури, яка дасть змогу поглибити необхідні знання, — й пише свої книги Том Батлер-Боудон. У насиченому інформацією, й науковою також, світі дуже легко заблукати, якщо рухатися без вказівників. "Психологія. 50 видатних книг" — саме така річ для зацікавлених у глибшому ознайомленні з цією наукою.

I've got to give Tom Butler-Bowdon credit. At first I was quite skeptical of his work, as he doesn't really add a lot of value in his writing - he's really just summarizing the works of other writers.
However, after reading 50 Prosperity Classics: Attract It, Create It, Manage It, Share It and 50 Success Classics: Winning Wisdom for Life and Work from 50 Landmark Books, I've got to give Butler-Bowdon credit for mastering such a large body of knowledge.
He focuses on the clear, the practical, the "relevant", but without being an accountant about it. He doesn't loose sight of the art, the emotion, the humanity of the material he's covering. He has good judgement, and does an excellent job wading through all of the material and choosing to cover works relevant to the wider audience.
I don't think that reading many of Butler-Bowdon's summaries are substitutes for reading the actual books he's covering, but it does help to familiarize yourself with a broad body of knowledge, and quickly focus on the books that are the most relevant to your own purposes.
Well worth your time!

This was an interesting book to read especially since it's a book that reviews other books. I think I added 30+ books to my to-read list and im okay with that I love reading. Anyway I would have rated this book higher but the author just pissed me off on a section in which he was describing the biological differences between men and women and because of those physical differences we then cannot be equal on femminists standards...I don't think he quite understands that the equality we seek isn't to be exactly the same as one another physically but to be treated with respect and to have equal opportunities to succeed without the stupid gender stereotypes to hold us back!

I loved this book! The summaries are beefy and left me wanting more from each classic. My reading list has expanded yet again, after reading this. It was also really nice to get a refresher on some of the classics I've already read. You can never get enough of those. I'll be moving on to this author's 60 Spiritual Classics next. Woo hoo!

50 Psykologian Klassikkoa oli mielenkiintoinen katsaus psykologian tekijöiden maailmaan. Mukaan mahtui tuttujen nimien lisäksi myös itselleni uusia tekijöitä ja mielenkiintoisia oivalluksia, jotka tekivät kirjasta luettavan arvoisen. Ikävä kyllä, monen teorian kohdalla kerronta ontui pahasti. Tekstissä oli joko selkeitä virheitä tai katsausta oli jouduttu tiivistämään niin paljon, että totuus kärsi liikaa. Harmitti myös, kuinka moni mestari oli jäänyt pois ja tilalla oli joitain tuntemattomia hupiukkoja, mutta ehkä tuo on vain mielipidekysymys.
Hyvää oli helppo luettavuus. Kappaleet olivat johdonmukaisia ja selkeitä, nopeasti luettavia kokonaisuuksia! Kirjan hahmoista ja teorioista sai pintapuolisen kuvan, mikä tässä lienee tarkoituskin.

I believe that this is a good book for everyone. Is basically a summary of all publications in Psychology and major books, Psychologists of the last century. The trio of Andler, Froyd, Frank are must read as books of their own, however, the EQ, IQ, Ego, Confidence building are also topics that one should cover, if not extensively at least on high-level concepts. Ayn Rand has such big influence in the USA that is another must as for the Kinsey, I saw the movie so its OK. This is a good summary and highly recommended, I wonder why such a book is not part of the educational curriculum, as is or copied. Books like this help us understand human nature in a deeper level and such knowledge is important in the age of AI.

كتاب قيم جدا يشبه إلي حد كبير مينو مفصل لأشهر الكتب في مجال علم النفس بكل نظرياته وأجزاءه ورأي النقاد فيه ، وبالتالي يساعدك حتما علي إختيار العناوين المهمة لك ، والتي يجب أن تبدأ في قراءتها إن كنت مهتما بالمجال.
الترجمة وافية والمؤلف ملم بقضايا ونظريات علم النفس ولم يكن بخيلا أبدا مع القاريء.
......
وإن كنت أيضا تريد أن تقرأ عن مشاهير هذا العلم من أطباء ومعالجين ومختصين وحتي كتاب وهاويين ، فالمؤلف قد أرفق تعريفا مبسطا بكل كاتب يشبه إلي حد كبير سيرة ذاتية مصغرة ^^ مع ذكر الكتب الأخري لنفس الكاتب.
.......
حقا ، حقا الكتاب جد مفيد!
