A Degree in a Book: Psychology: Everything You Need to Know to Master the Subject - in One Book!

Very explicit

I love this book. Has all the most prominent psychologists and easy to understand. So much information in one book.

Well laid out.

Worth the money basic run around of psychology and it’s backstory

Loved this book, very informative

The details given in book are the best. People from all over the world coming together on one topic is major thing back then.

I read a lot and listen to Philosophy oriented media such as History of Philosophy Without any Gaps, and History of Africana and India Philosophy. The Order of Time and Johnathan Haidt three books all gave me a insight and interest. This book expanded on things included in those books and well worth it.

It claims to be a degree in a book. Everything you need to know to master psychology. All it does is list different people who wrote what they thought about psychology. There's not one lesson, or anything of interest or value in this book. I'm going to be studying psychology, and I need a textbook to get a head start on it. THRIFTBOOKS is the ones who sold the book. Amazon has a habit of allowing sellers to lie about products. Sellers pay people to give them a five star review, and then they rip off the customer and don't pay them the $20 they promised to pay them for it.

Definitely one of my favorite books, its very well explained

A perfect read for my son's studies. Very informative and interesting. He doesn't normally like to read but this was gripping him. He was reading this and less on his phone. Perfect.

Great book alongside A psychology course!

Explica de forma fácil y entretenida un recorrido muy completo y visual por la historia de la psicología

WIth a huge emphasis on the history of psychology, the average reader can get totally lost. First, loads of information about a theory, then a vague hint that, well, this isn't actually true. Take the chapter on Biological Psychology: 20 pages of its history (and basically where they all got it wrong) followed by 3 pages about modern understanding of the brain (which in reality is most of our understanding). So despite the author continually repeating "impossible to cover such a huge subject in one book" almost in every chapter, there a huge chunks of the book actually about mistaken theory of our past psychologists and so useless to most, if not downright confusing. This is littered with seemingly helpful diagrams, which are not referred to, whole page pictures of ancient psychologists and actually very little useful information. A degree in a book, no. A pretty overview of the history of the subject of psychology, not Psychology itself, yes. A shabby publication.
