Textbook for college

[Grant Davis]

I was able to use this book by itself and learn a lot of basics about psychology. I found it to be a very helpful and simple book to use.

[Ali · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a very comprehensive book. I think it was written very wisely that each topic is given just the appropriate amount of explanation. I learned a LOT of psychology from it and it was very interesting to read with its real-life examples and applications. It made me love psychology even more.

An excellently written psychology textbook. This is well organized with clear descriptions. In some portions, the biases are a little evident, but otherwise a very well-balanced book.
