Summary
How do we learn? What is memory? How do we know how to behave?
The formal study of psychology as a scientific enterprise began in Germany in the late 19th century, but the observation of human behavior dates back to ancient Greece. Defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, psychology has attained a range of branches including clinical, cognitive, developmental, evolutionary, forensic, health, and neuropsychology. In a wide-ranging audiobook, listeners are introduced to the world of psychology and those who formed the science as we know it.
With discussion of a number of key ideas, including prejudice and discrimination, social cognition, how we develop attitudes, and why and how we fall in love, as well as references to the people who developed these ideas, the audiobook is an accessible guide to this fascinating subject.

A fab sum up of all things psychology
Psychology is such an interesting subject and this book was absolutely amazing in touching upon so many areas but in a such a succinct and easy to understand way.
It was a whistlestop tour around our brain and how it works, from perception, memories, origins of psychology and dreams to different types of conditioning, it covered a lot of ground! It piqued my interest immediately and I found myself whipping through the chapters in no time. They are kept short and to the point, conveying the basics but also detailed enough to tell you enough of what you need to know.
There were so many interesting studies featured here, it was great. I loved hearing about them and how they revealed more about us, our brains and how we think. It was all so interesting and I couldn’t stop listening!
It was an easy audiobook, in the sense the narrator (and author) did a fab job at making the complex words and concepts easy to follow without being overwhelming.
It appeals to both psychology lovers and those who are simply intrigued by our brains and how they work. You don’t need to know science or anything about psychology at all as this book will teach you the basics and all you need to know! I loved it.
