If you are looking for pure academic research, this is not the book for you. This books contains summaries of the history of psychology, psychology experiments and psychological conditions and disorders.

However, this book is a rather good introduction to all things psychology. The author does not go very in-depth into the mechanisms of how psychological phenomena occur, but enough detail is given to entice the reader to go read further about specific topics if they would wish to do so.

The writing style is easy to understand, succinct and not full of too much jargon.

I would recommend this book to anyone who wishes to gain more insight about how psychological research developed into what it is today. This is mainly why I picked up this book and it served its purpose well.

Well written book on what Psychology is about.

Es un buen libro de psicología general. Te explica conceptos básicos aunque no ahonde demasiado pero si te gusta la psicología seguramente te deje con ganas de descubrir mucho más sobre esta ciencia. Si no sabes bien qué es lo que más te interesa y quieres tantear un poco este es un buen libro que te puede ayudar a saber qué rama te gustaría conocer en más profundidad.

Prosta, ciekawa książka.
Polecam osobom, które choć trochę interesują się psychologią i chciałyby dowiedzieć się o jej podstawach. Nie polecam tym, które bardzo się nią interesują i mają już wiedzę w tym temacie, ponieważ nie dowiedzą się o niczym nowym podczas lektury.

Интересна книга. Има от всичко по малко и е добре за начинаещи в материята или за просто любознателни читатели. Харесва ми, че има примери, както и съвети.

Препоръчвам за хора хора, които искат да се запознаят повече с психологията като наука. Повече от информацията може да намерите и в интернет.

Great overview. A few bits that don't seem quite right but still engaging, entertaining and informative.
