I bought this for my 2nd year Psychology degree course and it's definitely the best textbook i've read in a while. Amusing and easy to understand without being patronizing the author has done the best job of making background reading as intriguing as possible.

Great Book with Well Rounded Material

This text is very well written by a current psychologist of our era. The text makes sure to explain many of the aspects of the human mind in terms of metaphors that are easy to understand. The text is easy to read and makes the statistics (although somewhat heavily for a non stats course) a breeze to understand. Funder is great!

Great Overview of key concepts

This book is pretty much like other psychology books. Goes in depth on some concepts but others are only briefly touched. Some of the examples are completely outdated or irrelevant and the writing is a little dull. I honestly had a hard time sitting down and reading this without falling asleep. We used it for Personality Psychology and helped me somewhat get a better grasp of things, but the teacher was more helpful.

Horrible

When I first received the text book the pages were barely attached to the bind which ended up breaking the next day! I couldn't return the book because I needed it for my class I could not wait longer...so now I have a broken book that I cannot resale, I was very upset and disappointed.
