Psychology for Beginners

Oh what an interesting topic. When I was in fourth yr highschool I wanted to be a pyschologist. I am so curious of how people react to different stimulus, I wanted to study their behavior and be able to predict it. I wanted to be able to read what they are thinking. So , I was able to read a book for beginners in psychology. I have learned abot the alter egos, the IQ, the EQ but somehow I ended up taking up nursing. But it did not stopped me from being interested in pyschology . When I was in college I was able to read a book about verbal and non verbal language and up to now when I see people, I still remember and observe people to what they mean. I personally think its helpful but we have to remember that some might be a product of their mannerism but it was fun.

I understand a lot about people I interact with here. It is about what the discussion topics are, how they tell them, their responses etc. Human psychology is an exciting field but I have only learned from experience to understand people - siva

This may or may not be what you are looking for. It's focus is on anyone that wants to study to actually be a psychologist. But it might be interesting, I've not read it but scanned the pages. Tell me what you think on first glance. Behaviorism Charles Stangor says is the premise that it is not possible to objectively study the mind, so study behaviour instead.
