Dear Reader,
People have spent thousands of years exploring human nature through art, religion, philosophy, literature, and poetry, but it has only been fairly recently in history that we've begun to study the science behind the human mind and behavior. If you're like most people (including myself), your first foray into psychology was a required course during your first year of college. I didn't expect to fall in love with the subject, but from that very first lecture I was utterly captivated.
No matter where you are in your education, my hope is that this book will inspire you to learn more about yourself and the people around you. Psychology is a remarkably rich subject, and studying it can spark both philosophical questions and provide practical uses in your daily life. Whether you have a casual interest in the subject or plan on one day becoming a psychologist, the goal of this book is to provide a solid foundation and to increase your appreciation of the wide world of psychology.
These handy, accessible books give you all you need to tackle a difficult project, gain a new hobby, comprehend a fascinating topic, prepare for an exam, or even brush up on something you learned back in school but have since forgotten.
You can choose to read an Everything book from cover to cover or just pick out the information you want from our four useful boxes: e-questions, e-facts, e-alerts, and e-ssentials. We give you everything you need to know on the subject, but throw in a lot of fun stuff along the way, too.
We now have more than 400 Everything books in print, spanning such wide-ranging categories as weddings, pregnancy, cooking, music instruction, foreign language, crafts, pets, New Age, and so much more. When you're done reading them all, you can finally say you know Everything!

At my blog and in correspondence with the author, I wrote that psychology is not just about helping people, and that we pursue this field of work because we are deeply fascinated by our profession's rich knowledge base.
