''Witty, knowledgeable and mind-expanding'' RICHARD FISHER ''Engaging, smart and wise'' DAVID MITCHELL ''A fun and inspiring teaser for curious minds'' JeReMIE HARRIS Psychology is often mistaken for a modern discipline. People think it was invented in cigar-fug of an Austrian cafe by men with names like Adler and Freud. But humans have been doing a form of psychology as long as we''ve been living together: it is essentially the story of humanity itself. And it''s a subject that is still excitingly relevant today, with new developments in our understanding of mental health and the fascinating workings of the human mind. Focusing on the curious stories behind the abstract theories, Mini Psychology covers everything from the theories behind our cognitive processes to unravelling the mysteries of emotions. Distilling the fundamentals of psychology into easily digestible bite-sized chunks, it explains the major theories and names you need to know, while inviting you to examine your own inner life as well.
