Weird Psychology

Why do we imagine jumping off cliffs when we're not suicidal? Why do incompetent people think they're geniuses? And why does looking at adorable puppies make us want to squeeze them until they squeak?

Welcome to Weird Psychology, a hilarious and mind-bending journey through the strangest corners of the human mind. From the bystander effect that makes crowds less helpful to the Mandela Effect that makes thousands misremember the same thing, this book explores the fascinating quirks that make us human—and reveals why our brains are beautifully flawed, wonderfully weird, and far more fascinating than any science fiction.

Packed with eye-opening research, practical life hacks, and enough "wait, what?" moments to keep you entertained for hours, Weird Psychology will change the way you see yourself, your friends, and the bizarre world inside your own head. Whether you're a psychology enthusiast, a curious skeptic, or just someone who's ever wondered why they can't stop seeing red cars everywhere, this book proves that the strangest things about us are often the most revealing—and the most fun.
