Living Psychology.
It’s about life.
It’s about time.
Living Psychology was written for students like you, with real lives and real concerns. Full-timers. Part-timers. Working people. Heads of families. Career changers. All with two things in common. Everyone wants relevant material they can immediately use and apply to everyday, real life. And everyone is busy.
With you in mind, Living Psychology emphasizes psychology's direct relevance to your modern busy life—careers, business, school, relationships, and society.
