各界推薦 "We psychologists are often frustrated that our science fails to satisfy people’s curiosity about what makes us tick, how we relate to one another, and how we can use such knowledge to lead happier and more fulfilling lives. But in this book David Myers, who knows a thing or two about psychology, shows how it can be done. These essays are both scientifically responsible and filled with insight about life, mind, and society."―Steven Pinker, Johnstone Professor of Psychology, Harvard University, and the author of How the Mind Works"A witty, enjoyable book with plenty of food for thought." ―Kirkus"The book’s format makes for a comfortable, nearly conversational read, while also engaging readers in a deep dive of pondering their lives ... highly recommended for those interested in psychology, self-help, reflections, and the desire to understand society." ―Library Journal, starred review"A quick and illuminating overview of the human mind." ―Publishers Weekly
