About this listen

Every interaction you have with people, each day of your life, involves social psychology. For those of us who have struggled to fit in or wish we received more invitations to socialize, this relatively new field of study can be eye-opening when it comes to gaining a better understanding of the basics of human interactions.

In this illuminating Audible Original, Professor Wind Goodfriend explores the various facets of social psychology, including how we form personal identities, the importance of perceptions, the human need to be liked and respected, stereotypes and prejudices, and more.

Social psychology can be both fascinating in its own right and, ideally, applicable to your everyday life. It can offer you insights into how you relate to others in your friendships, how other people make judgments about you, how to get others to help you, how to manage your anger and aggression, what power of persuasion you have at your fingertips, and so much more.

I just started a social psychology module and found this book as a result. I love that it’s in chapters and that each lecture is only 30 mins. The author reads with real enthusiasm and keeps the momentum. It’s helped me think about different aspects of my course and really put this in “real life” examples.

Really helpful!

Nice overview of social psych, debunking some myths including "findings" of some old famous controversial studies. Easy to listen to and follow along. Recommended.
