Review: I'm lovin' it! - I really love this book. The book is huge and cute with beautiful images, quotations and a bit of sneakpeak into the psychologists. It is fun to read. I carried this book around in the beginning days as a precious little toddler as it is really really cute. The cover is attractive(although, the corners were knocked when i got it). You don't even have to read in order, just turn a random page and there you are! Entirely dissolved into the book! I'm a psychology student and I found many interesting information which weren't taught to me in my class lol. A few times, I wished some concepts were explained indepth. The book is great! But a lot of concepts I expected to read weren't there. It has simplified my various doubts regarding conditioning with charts and all. I love the charts because they make it easy for you to understand. But every concept in here gripping. This book can't be solely relied on if you want to make a very serious study into psychology but it's definitely worthy. It hook you up and gives you a quick insight into various stuff. It's like a textbook but the cute font, the images and attention-grabbing titles gives you a different experience. I think it's a must for every psychology lovers. Review: Simple and beautiful book - Very good bok

corner that is damaged, but the quality is good overall
•Although the book's corners are damaged, as seen in the photo, the quality is excellent overall, and the binding is also excellent. •It is highly recommended that students of class 11th who are interested in psychology... to take a look at this book first. It also serves as a good resource for UG students who are planning to take psychology but didn't have any past knowledge about this subject before because it covers everything (not in super detail but it helps to clear various topics) there is to know about the subject. •In addition, I think this book is absolutely beautiful and should be owned by everyone because it is important to understand this beautiful term psychology.

Awesome for Beginners
The book is a fantastic gateway for a beginner into the world of psychology. It is basically Psychology for Dummies. The packaging by Amazon seller was superb and the product was delivered in great condition.

Excellent, worth every penny
We own a number of books in this series and we really like them. The whole family enjoys reading them and whether you only want an outline to give you a bit of insight into the subject or you are looking for an exploration somewhat deeper, this book will certainly be able to pique your interest. We found that it explains the subject well and in a concise but interesting manner and both older children and adults will learn a lot on the topic. The quality of the cover, pages and print is excellent. They are fairly hefty books about 1inch thick and approximately A4 size so to have the solid, colourful cover to keep the book in good condition is very helpful. They also look very attractive and invite the reader to pick up and explore what's inside. Great for home schoolers too. I can highly recommend this book for a foray into the subject.

It’s exactly what the title says, big ideas simply put. If you’re a beginner, it’s great as a useful starting point in your research into the psychology of the human mind

New
The book was paperback not hardcover, and it's ok since it was already mentioned in the description. It's also original. I was sceptic at first because Amazon offered it at 180 egp only, discounted from 1500. But the book IS original. Superb deal.
