Developed from the author's long teaching career, How to Rethink
Human Behavior aims to cultivate practical skills in human
observation and analysis, rather than offer a catalogue of
immutable 'facts'. It synthesizes key psychological concepts with
insights from other disciplines, including sociology, social
anthropology, economics, and history. The skills detailed in the
book will help readers to observe people in their contexts and to
analyze what they observe, in order to make better sense of why
people do what they do, say what they say, and think what they
think. These methods can also be applied to our own thoughts, talk
and actions - not as something we control from 'within' but as
events constantly being shaped by the idiosyncratic social,
cultural, economic and other contexts in which our lives are
immersed. Whether teaching, studying, or reading for pleasure, this
book will help readers learn: How to think about people with
ecological or contextual thinking How your thinking is a
conversation with other people How to analyze talk and
conversations as social strategies How capitalist economies change
how you act, talk and think in 25 ways How living in modern society
can be linked to generalized anxiety and depression How to Rethink
Human Behavior is important interdisciplinary reading for students
and researchers in all fields of social science, and will
especially appeal to those interested in mental health. It has also
been written for the general reading public who enjoy exploring new
ideas and skills in understanding themselves and other people.
