Modern society is unthinkable without psychology. Without knowing the foundations of psychology, it’s impossible to imagine our lives. Child-rearing, management, trade, advertising, politics, love, family—everything is built on psychology. But what ideas lie at the very foundation of psychology itself? This book introduces the main 50 psychological ideas that have entered our lives and, in many ways, determine them. The volume “Psychology” covers almost everything: from dreams to narcissism, from computer phobia to fear, from memory work to social mobility, from relationships between people to alcoholism. Some psychological ideas now seem obvious, while others are paradoxical. This book explains and puts in order everything essential there is in psychology.
