This book is a thinking person's guide to folk psychology.
Spanning fifty books, hundreds of ideas, and a century, this book explores the key figures in the development of psychology, offering a fundamental view of the mind, personality, and human nature—who we are, how we think, and what we do.

This book is written by Dr. Tom Butler Bowdon. Through this book, the author seeks to facilitate reading in psychology for non-specialists by presenting books that are accessible to beginners in psychology.

The book also presents a variety of ideas such as:

• The true meaning of happiness
• Intuition, and how it can save your life
• Secrets of Better Communication and Influencing Skills: The Science of Successful Relationships
• Reasons for the involvement of intelligent people in mass movements.

In addition, the book explores some of the most famous experiments and research in psychology, such as Stanley Milgram's stunning proof that humans have a predisposition to power; Harley Marlow's discovery, through his study of young monkeys, of the importance of physical contact for mental health; and Alfred Kinsey's astonishing discovery of the facts about human sexuality. This book focuses on the amazing scientific research that changes our beliefs about ourselves, and what excites and excites us as human beings.
