What to expect
'This little book would persuade you that psychology is not just fun but hugely important.' PROFESSOR GEOFF BEATIE
Why do people stay in unhappy relationships?
What are the six tricks for successful persuasion?
Can personality traits predict future criminality?
And what can pigeons tell us about superstitious behaviour?
Whether you're a student of psychology or you're just interested in the workings of the brain, Mini Psychology offers a window onto the fascinating mysteries of the human psyche, covering everything from how our memories are formed to why some people are so resistant to change.
Focusing on the curious stories behind the abstract theories, it explains the major ideas and names you need to know - and invites you to shine a light on your own inner life.
