Psychology of Intelligence

Author's name: Sonia Falk

People are fascinated by psychology and what drives humans. Why do we think and act the way we do? We've all encountered "couch doctors" who claim to have the answers, and those who wonder if psychologists can read their minds.

“The Psychology of Everything” is a series of books that shatters common myths and pseudoscience surrounding some of life’s biggest questions.

The Psychology of Everything series explores a wide range of topics and answers important questions in seven books that we began publishing last year and will continue publishing throughout the year.

The series consists of 7 parts: The Psychology of Being Okay, The Psychology of Religion, The Psychology of Sex, The Psychology of Art, The Psychology of Intelligence, The Psychology of Politics, and The Psychology of Social Media.

The Psychology of Intelligence helps us understand the contradictory social attitudes and practices surrounding intelligence that we have witnessed over the decades, from the perceptions that led to eugenic policies and practices in the past to our current backlash against “experts” and critical thinking. The book demonstrates how our approach to intelligence affects our daily lives, in educational, professional, medical, and legal settings, and questions whether it is possible to lift the taboos and overcome the biases surrounding intelligence.
