About this listen

50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology uses popular myths as a vehicle for helping students and laypersons to distinguish science from pseudoscience.

  • Explores topics that listeners will relate to, but often misunderstand, such as "opposites attract", "people use only 10% of their brains", and "handwriting reveals your personality"
  • Provides a "mythbusting kit" for evaluating folk psychology claims in everyday life
  • Teaches essential critical thinking skills through detailed discussions of each myth
  • Includes over 200 additional psychological myths for listeners to explore

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Shallow

I’ve had to put this book “down” because of how it often goes through a list of facts, disputes them but doesn’t explain nor elaborate. Simply stating X is wrong Y is right makes for a very poor so-called fact-based book. Am I to simply take you in your word? That’s not how any of this should be done. When it does explain it’s good but for a majority of facts stated it does not.
