Customer Reviews
Worth buying if you're new to psychology, when reading the book it makes most things clear to the reader, and when thinking about what the book is explaning you get to realize why people do what they do.
I found it best to just dip, in and out of the book at random, or to look things up in the index.
It would probably be quite hard to just read cover to cover, up to ones personal preferences as to how its read.
Helps to explain about things that are being done, in other titles similar to this one, being a big fan of Dummies books it will go with all my other ones for reference.
All in all, a nice book to start with.
I thought the tips were particularly useful and easy to put into practice.
Not enough of us make best use of all the good things in our lives, but everyone who reads this book certainly will!
My blood group is B+ve, but now my whole outlook is in tune with my blood type, thanks to this book.
Listmania!
