Joy Davenport ，

This was an interesting fly-over of a lot of human psychology and sociology。 Not sure I agree with everything he says， but it was interesting to read。 Of course he addresses phone and social media use， as well as dynamics between people as we come out of covid。 Consider for library purchase。 Rating: gRecommend: psychology / culture interested readers。

This was a really informative book that covered a variety of subjects。 Using clear language Myers discusses ways we think we know ourselves and explores whether or not that’s true。 Very interesting read for people who want to learn more about their brains。ARC provided via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review。

I received a free copy from libro。fm as part of the educator audiobook listening copies。 All opinions are my own。

I found it difficult to get into this book， but once I did， I was fascinated by the information in it。 The author presents a myriad of topics that provide insight into the way our minds work and the way we perceive things。 It was an interesting and quick listen！

Learning about the brain and it's unique processes is so fascinating。 This book does a fantastic job of introducing and explaining several psychological principles in a way that most anyone can understand。 Myers discussed each topic by including a small description and references to a study involving the theory。 I enjoyed how he made the topics come to life and easy to understand。 He also discussed how different psychological theories have changed over recent years and what seems to still be app Learning about the brain and it's unique processes is so fascinating。 This book does a fantastic job of introducing and explaining several psychological principles in a way that most anyone can understand。 Myers discussed each topic by including a small description and references to a study involving the theory。 I enjoyed how he made the topics come to life and easy to understand。 He also discussed how different psychological theories have changed over recent years and what seems to still be applicable。 As someone who had taken several psychology courses at college， I recognized most of the topics， however， someone who is not familiar with psychology would still be able to understand this book。I listened to this as an audiobook and the narrator was very easy to understand and was enjoyable to listen to。 One potential drawback of this book is the references to scriptures。 Since the author is a professor at a Christian college it is not surprising that he would include scriptures， however， some people may not like this。 Overall the book was very informative and nice to listen to。 Thank you to netgalley for providing me with an advanced listening copy of this book。 。。。more
