Product Description
Product Description
The key ideas in Psychology explained, with colour illustrations, in half a minute. Pavlov's Dogs, Psychoanalysis, Milgram's Obedience Study, and Beck's Cognitive Therapy? Sure, you know what they all mean. That is, you've certainly heard of them. But do you know enough about these psychology theories to join a dinner party debate or dazzle the bar with your knowledge? 30-Second Psychology takes the top 50 strands of thinking in this fascinating field, and explains them to the general reader in half a minute, using nothing more than two pages, 300 words, and one picture. The inner workings of the human mind will suddenly seem a lot more fun, and along the way we meet many of the luminaries in the field, including William James, Aaron Beck, and (of course) Sigmund Freud. From Behaviorism to Cognitivism, what better way to get a handle on your inner demons?

5.0 out of 5 stars
Lovely looking book, for beginners and experts alike,
This review is from: 30-Second Psychology: The 50 Most Thought-provoking Psychology Theories, Each Explained in Half a Minute (Hardcover)
I've been studying Psychology for 7 years and I was still drawn towards this book. Suitable for beginners to Psychology or for experts in their own field (by the time you start to specialize in an area you may have forgotten about some of the key thinkers and studies you learned about at the beginning- well I did anyway!)I plan to buy the other books in the "30 second" series. It has a really aesthetic cover and the graphics inside are great- maybe I can finally get my partner interested in Psychology?? Would make a good gift.

5.0 out of 5 stars
excellent bed time reading for psychology enthusiast,
This review is from: 30-Second Psychology: The 50 Most Thought-provoking Psychology Theories, Each Explained in Half a Minute (Hardcover)
I have always enjoyed psychology, and most of these theories are familiar, but without studying it formally I didn't have an opportunity to understand the roots of some theories I hear about. This book is so digestible, which is incredible considering its deep subject matter. A few theories just before dozing off is a lovely end to the day. In addition, the book is lovely, hard back, well illustrated and a joy to handle
