Psychology: Concepts Revealed Through Compelling Stories introduces
students to ideas, theories, research, and major concepts in
psychology through highly engaging and accessible narratives. The
book is designed to pique students' interest, engage their natural
curiosity in psychology, and help them immediately apply key
learnings to their own lives. The text covers major concepts and
topics in psychology, including social scientific inquiry,
sensation and perception, learning, memory, intelligence,
cognition, emotion, personality, mental disorders, and more. Each
chapter begins and ends with interesting stories that are
immersive, entertaining, and help students better understand why we
behave the ways we do. Each chapter also touches upon the history,
theories, research, notable figures, and applications of the
central topic, providing students with a valuable yet manageable
introduction to the discipline. With a goal to keep from
overwhelming students with more information than they can possibly
remember, the text provides a thoughtful amount of information to
familiarize students with the essentials of psychology and
encourage meaningful, personal connections. A unique and vibrant
option, Essentials of Psychology is an excellent resource for
foundational courses in psychology, especially for those that seek
