[Sean Barrs · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is a great book for those new to the subject. This is the first psychology book I read and must say the one I enjoyed the most. The book, as its title suggests, is simple enough for most novices to the area to understand yet equally informative.

I found this book more helpful than A level text books and have often referenced it in my essays. This book, in my opinion, is a necessity for all psychology students no matter at what level.

The book presents a long list of sources and credibility through out the information provided, and the sections are strategically grouped.
