What really drives our decisions? Where do language and memory come from? Do IQ tests really measure intelligence—and who decided they needed to be measured at all?
40 dynamic chapters await you, telling the story of the most influential ideas, experiments, and figures in the history of psychology. From ancient Greece to the present, from Freud to Kahneman, from the achievements of neuropsychology and behaviorism to Milgram's experiments in social psychology and the CIA's mind-control projects.
Nicky Haze explains the complex with interest and simplicity, without avoiding the hot topics: eugenics, Nazism, anti-psychiatry, wartime propaganda. This is not a self-help manual, but a journey through key ideas about who we are—and how we came to know it.
