This book takes a unique approach to introductory psychology with 44 short chapters that emphasize the science and evolution of human behavior in a readable, witty, and conceptual manner.

This book is NOT intended to be an encyclopedic, standard text! Each short chapter is organized around a single idea that relates to psychology and lifelong learning skills (take a look at the Table of Contents). With an organization that roughly corresponds to a typical introductory psychology text, the book engages the student by ideas and concepts and doesn't overwhelm with lists and terms.
