Psychology in Everyday Life

Why take psychology? What makes psychology a science? Can it really help me understand my feelings and behaviors? Or how I get along with family and friends? Now from the world's foremost author for the introductory psychology classroom comes a new textbook that makes learning about the psychology of our lives a captivating experience for students at all levels.

Carried by the author's acclaimed empathetic voice, Psychology in Everyday Life is David Myers' most inviting text to date.
