Psychology, the highly anticipated new introductory psychology textbook by Harvard professors Daniel L. Schacter, Daniel T. Gilbert, and Daniel M. Wegner, takes a fresh approach to the teaching of psychology by focusing on "mindbugs": foibles of the mind that are intrinsically fascinating and provide fundamental insights into how the mind works. Believing an introduction to the field of psychology should be every bit as engaging as reading a popular science book, the authors have utilized the skills that made them successful trade authors to present a compelling case for psychological reasoning. Joined with the latest in psychological science and neuroscience, Psychology will provide students with an introduction to psychology that both educates and entices them

This review is from: Psychology (Hardcover)
I bought this book for an introductory psychology class at Harvard, taught by one of the book's authors. The book does an excellent job of explaining pyschological concepts, detailing the progress of psychological science, and relating material to useful, real-world examples. It even keeps up an interesting, sometimes sarcastic sense of humor. Perhaps its best aspect is its organization: rather than fall into the trap of historical progression (William James believed... but Freud said... and Maslow theorized...) that ensnares many intro psychology books, this one is organized thematically and works exceptionally well. The history is still there, but it doesn't overshadow our present knowledge of psychology. Overall, excellent textbook.
