Human Psychology 101: Understanding the Human Mind and What Makes People Tick
Summary
The human mind is a complicated array of wirings of the past combined with the physical and chemical inclinations of the present. Psychology is the study of the human brain, but it's so much more than a mere dissection of the gooey gray mass trapped in our skulls; it's a study of what makes us tick as individuals and as a species. Human Psychology 101: Understanding the Human Mind and What Makes People Tick is meant to show you the facets of a human being and how they work together to make a person tick. It's not a psychological treatise or a DSM-V. It's a collection of my own research on psychology and stories from my life and the lives of my friends and acquaintances that help illustrate the principles I'm going to be telling you about. I will be dividing this book into seven aspects of human psychology: emotions, personality, decision making, morality, perception, behavior, and relationships. To understand what makes someone tick is to have mastered a sort of psychological sleight of hand, and I hope that this book serves as a useful step on your way to mastery over that brand of magic trick. How human beings think and behave is an unendingly fascinating study, one that reveals how simple and elegant and, on the other hand, complex and mysterious we all are. I hope you are as pumped as I am to think about the inner workings of how people tick.

Human Psychology 202
Summary
Humans are complex creatures. When confronted with all that life has to offer, they are still able to twist their thinking into negativity and self-defeating behavior. Why and how does that happen? To understand how people behave, it's important to be aware of how distorted thinking can undermine even the smartest people. It has nothing to do with intelligence. Our behavior is the result of how we react to our thoughts. In this audiobook, Human Psychology 202: Understanding How People Really Think So That You Know How to Deal with Them, we will discuss some of the many ways incomplete or immature thinking can derail people's lives. Our thoughts are the results of our feelings, and how we process those feelings into thoughts is important. Feelings are automatic, thoughts are not. We have a choice in how we think and react. This audiobook explains that when we limit our thoughts, we limit the way we live. When we narrow our thinking to all or nothing thinking, catastrophic thinking, must thinking, or emotional thinking, we limit our possibilities accordingly. When we are alive, we think. It's the contents of our thoughts that determines the quality of our lives. We may blame ability, luck, or circumstances, but those are simply excuses for refusing to broaden our thinking. Human Psychology 202 will teach you how thinking affects your actions and how to deal with frustrating people who refuse to examine, or change, their way of thinking.
