Human Psychology 101: Understanding The Human Mind And What Makes People Tick Paperback – August 21, 2016

I purchased this book after watching the Netflix show "13 Reasons Why", not because I thought I could offered Psychiatry help, but so I can better understand myself and possibly how to listen to someone else that may be going through a rough patch. It is written in simple language which is brilliant. I am far from a scholar and this book did help me find some insights to myself. It has already helped me become more empathetic to others without emotionally draining me. I am more willing to open up and help someone who may be at their wits end.

Quick read for those new to mental health topics. I like the writing style. This is an accessible book. The section on personality types was fascinating to me.

It's a good read. If you're going for psychology classes or personal research I probably wouldn't use this much or pick it up a whole lot to refer back to it for something but it's still a good read. It has a cool perspective but doesn't involve much detail, it's really from the author's personal experience which is a great secular perspective. The book itself is not as depressing as the cover will make it seem, by the way. I personally think the cover is thought-provoking and a nice image but that could be because I am into mental illness as some personal research and I am into photography and art.

The title is a little misleading, it's not written by a professional.

EXCELLENT BOOK TO READ. GIVES EVERYONE A HEADS UP,ON ALL THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. and HOW YOU CANUNDERSTAND YOUR FAMILY BETTER, AS WELL, AS OTHERSAND JUST OUTSIDE PEOPLE... Makes You Think Back, As Your Taking Your Time,On How Certain People Acted That Particular Way and Understanding ItMuch Better......

I purchased this for my father, who is a psychology major and likes to stay up to date with new information.He loved it !!!

I didn't think it would be very educational coming from a person without a degree or background in psychology yet it was better than the last 3 or more I've read that have been! It will be one is a definite reread. Actually app!icable to situations not just text book terminology that is hard to decipher.

This is not a serious book. Absolutely sounds like researched on google and complied. The writer is a non-professional with no background on psychology. Examples are petty, made up and with no depth. Zero academic value. I am extremely disappointed.
