ReviewsThis text is rich in examples that show psychology in the everyday world. Students will be able to see how all their behaviors have a psychological origin. There is deep coverage and analysis of all the essential topics. There are thoughtful applications of tables, charts, and graphs that summarize key points. A story-telling and conversational tone is used to grab the readers interest. Students will like this book!, Humor and wonder are important elements in my own teaching and I love the idea that they are reflected in a text. [...] very balanced and moves from concept to concept in a way that promotes understanding without bogging the reader down with a lot of detail., I like the tone! I think its friendly and quippy but not too informal. Relevant daily life applications throughout. Section topics anticipate my curiosity [...]. The authors deliver on their goal to provide an accessible and curiosity-inspiring text., I like that the book was written by professors who understand the struggle of engaging todays college students., I love the use of relatable and contemporary examples. Consistent with Goodfriends other works, there is excellent emphasis on diversity, evident not only in the examples but also in the range of researchers whose work is referenced.
