Praise from Reviewers: I love the idea of highlighting day to day applications for an introductory psychology class. Give the students the information they can use and apply to better their understanding of self and others. Vicki Dretchen, Volunteer State Community College The practical down-to-earth use of examples is very appropriate, and from my point of view the right way to introduce and explain psychology and its usefulness in everyone's day to day activities.
