How minds make sense of people

If you’re curious about why people judge, remember, and interpret each other the way they do, this is a strong foundational read. It brings together the core ideas that shaped social cognition, from attribution to schemas, in a way that feels intellectually grounding rather than trendy. Readers who like psychology with real explanatory power will appreciate how it shows everyday social understanding as something built from ordinary mental processes.
