Publisher's Summary

50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology uses popular myths as a vehicle for helping students and laypersons to distinguish science from pseudoscience. 

  • Explores topics that listeners will relate to, but often misunderstand, such as "opposites attract", "people use only 10% of their brains", and "handwriting reveals your personality" 
  • Provides a "mythbusting kit" for evaluating folk psychology claims in everyday life 
  • Teaches essential critical thinking skills through detailed discussions of each myth 
  • Includes over 200 additional psychological myths for listeners to explore

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.
