This was a short and easy audiobook even if I couldn't take the narrator seriously at first. I'm not sure if she adjusted her reading to the nonfiction topic as the chapters went by or I got used to her, but after a half an hour I stopped feeling that this is some kind of romance and started to enjoy it.
The book is listing the most important ideas that's worth knowing in the field of psychology and provides a great overview of this science.

The title pretty much says it all about the content of this audiobook. Anyone interested in psychology can easily listen to this audiobook. Each chapter presents a different idea that has played an essential role in the development of psychology. The information is simple and easy to understand. Interesting facts and details of research and experiments make the information effortlessly memorable. This book can also serve people who have knowledge of psychology and want to organise facts and information in their memory. I must admit that I was surprised when I heard Jessica Ball, the narrator's voice. At first, I thought I received a completely different audiobook, not non-fiction but rather a rom-com. However, I must admit that her voice is very melodic, pleasant to the ear, clear and precise. In addition, thanks to this association with rom-com, I received this whole audiobook very positively and energising. It was a pleasant experience for the ears.

A fascinating listen. The formal study of psychology as a scientific enterprise began in Germany in the late 19th century, but the observation of human behavior dates back to ancient Greece. Defined as the scientific study of behavior and mental processes, psychology has attained a range of branches including clinical, cognitive, developmental, evolutionary, forensic, health, and neuropsychology. In a wide-ranging audiobook, listeners are introduced to the world of psychology and those who formed the science as we know it.

With discussion of a number of key ideas, including prejudice and discrimination, social cognition, how we develop attitudes, and why and how we fall in love, as well as references to the people who developed these ideas, the audiobook is an accessible guide to this fascinating subject.

Psychology is such an interesting subject and this book was absolutely amazing in touching upon so many areas but in a such a succinct and easy to understand way.

It was a whistlestop tour around our brain and how it works, from perception, memories, origins of psychology and dreams to different types of conditioning, it covered a lot of ground! It piqued my interest immediately and I found myself whipping through the chapters in no time. They are kept short and to the point, conveying the basics but also detailed enough to tell you enough of what you need to know.

There were so many interesting studies featured here, it was great. I loved hearing about them and how they revealed more about us, our brains and how we think. It was all so interesting and I couldn’t stop listening!

It was an easy audiobook, in the sense the narrator (and author) did a fab job at making the complex words and concepts easy to follow without being overwhelming.

It appeals to both psychology lovers and those who are simply intrigued by our brains and how they work. You don’t need to know science or anything about psychology at all as this book will teach you the basics and all you need to know! I loved it.
