Description
Psychologists have always shone a torch, and often a spotlight, into many dark corners of the human mind. They study everything, from art preferences to altruism, coaching to criminality, jokes and humour to justice and honesty, as well as sex differences, schizophrenia and sociopathy.
Psychology can offer clear descriptions and explanations for all sort of phenomena. More importantly, psychological research can improve lives in a multitude of ways; many applied psychologists - e.g. clinical, educational, counselling and work psychologists – have the primary aim of making people more happy and better able to identify and realise their full potential.
Psychology 101 offers bite-size articles of psychological science from Adrian Furnham, a seasoned psychologist with a broad range of expertise. This book is the essential guide for anyone with an interest - either academic, professional or general - in demystifying and understanding the fascinating world of psychological history, theories, issues and beliefs.

ANGIE W, Reviewer
A few years ago I read Adrian Furnham's book Psychology: 50 Ideas You Really Need to Know It remains on my bookshelf and is used as a reference book if I want a quick refresher about a certain theory or idea.
So I looked forward to reading this. And I wasn't disappointed. It's well written, easy to read, and engaging.
For people who have an interest in psychology but no previous knowledge, this book is understandable and will open your eyes on subjects that we often personally view as "common sense". For readers who are familiar with the subject, it covers a wide range of topics, many not in the 50 Psychology Ideas book, or explored in a different way.
Reading this book is a good way of learning how the study of psychology can be applied to everyday life, exploring ideas on alcoholism, lying, money, morality, office politics, persuasion, queuing, tipping, tolerance and many more.
I'd recommend this book to anyone who has an interest in psychology and understanding human behaviour..
This is another book that will remain on my bookshelf (albeit my virtual one, as I have a kindle copy!) for years to come.
