This review is from: Psychology and Personal Growth (5th Edition) (Paperback)

Some of the articles are damn good, but the version of the book i have has a very annoying binding, that if you crease the pages start to fall out. I wish the author would have quality checked the publishers work, but i did learn alot from this book. There are alot of good articles that give you a new insight on life. Its definately worth reading even if you aren't a psych major. (I'm not)
