A compelling and accessible new perspective on the modern science of psychology, based on one of Yale's most popular courses of all time. How does the brain – a three-pound wrinkly mass – give rise to intelligence and conscious experience? Was Freud right that we are plagued by forbidden desires? What is the function of emotions such as disgust, gratitude, and shame? Renowned psychologist Paul Bloom answers these questions in Psych, his riveting book about the science of the mind. Psych is an expert guide, both funny, engaging, and full of memorable anecdotes.
But Psych is more than a comprehensive overview of the field of psychology. Bloom reveals what psychology says about moral issues, political issues, belief in conspiracy theories, the role of genes, and the nature of prejudice and hatred. He also shows how psychology gives practical insights into treating mental illnesses, such as depression and anxiety, and into the best ways to live happy and fulfilling lives. Psych is an engrossing guide to the most important topic: the story of us.
