This review is from: Business Psychology and Organisational Behaviour, 3rd Edition: A Student's Handbook (Paperback)

I'm not a student of business psychology. I'm not even a student. I am a business man who was interested in the subject and decided to learn more about it. The book was well written, highly interesting, and it opened my eyes to many new things. If you own a business, or work for yourself, you might want to pick this up. Although it has a text-book feel, you can read it from front to back without breaking too much of a sweat. Give it a shot.
