Understand Psychology: Your Guide to Everyday Life

This book provides a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the basics of psychology, exploring how our minds work and why we do the things we do, using practical examples to illustrate key concepts. It goes beyond a simple explanation of theory, delving into the application of psychology in our daily lives, from child development and social influences to dreaming, motivation, and coping with stress. With new content on mindfulness, social media, addiction, and learning, Understand Psychology is an essential read for anyone interested in understanding human behavior.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
