About this audiobook
Psychology For Dummies takes you on the challenging and thrilling adventure into the astonishing science of why we do the things we do. Along the way you'll find out how psychology helps us improve our relationships, make better decisions, be more effective in our careers, and avoid stress and mental illness in difficult times.
In a friendly, jargon-free style, clinical psychologist and teacher Adam Cash uses practical examples to delve deep into the maze of the human mind: from the basic hardware, software, and "wetware" of our brains to the mysteries of consciousness and the murkier reaches of abnormal behavior. He also provides profound insights into our wants and needs, the differences between psychological approaches, and how positive psychology can help you lead the "good life" that fulfills you most.
● Gain insights into identity and the self
● Cope with stress and illness
● Maintain psychological health
● Make informed choices when seeking counseling
Whether you're new to the unconscious or an established devotee of Freud and pharmacology, Psychology For Dummies is your essential guide to the examined life—and what can make it even more worth living!

Very dull, and honestly felt to personally influenced to enjoy. Instead of simply referring to patients as "them or their" the author specifys he's talking only to women with him constantly referring to the patient as "her" and "she". It also felt like the author had an excessive amount of self love, and not all that much beneficial information. I started getting into reading, but this book encouraged me to not read. Along with that the author goes on to praise vile beings such as Sigmund Freud, Ivan Pavlov, and other monstrosities. I definitely wouldn't recommend this book. I've learned more watching videos about physiology then I have reading all 300 pages of this train wreck.
