The lectures brought in this book are insightful and informative. In quite well worded examples he explains very basic concepts from gestalt psychology. It made me appreciate reading this, since if you stick with reading more novel literature often what is lost is the process how we got to the facts we have today. This book is full of such instances and thus it would be especially useful for both someone beginning their journey in studying psychology and someone already more specialized.
