"This is an excellent first encounter with the discipline of psychology. It provides an authoritative and well written introduction to a range of topics, making them at once accessible to the novice while retaining the scientific basis of psychology" Dr Tony Cassidy, De Montfort University, UK

"This book is a superb introduction to the many-faceted subject of psychology, the most convincing I have come across. It manages, as promised in the subtitle, to be informal, by adopting an engaging narrative, uncluttered by obfuscating technical jargon or redundant referencing. Not only is “Psychology and You” a mine of information about one of the world’s most exciting disciplines, it is also great fun to read", Martin Herbert, University of Exeter

"An exceptional book, which covers a vast range of psychological topics in an easily accessible manner. Clear and engaging, it is a must for any psychology student", Rhona Neville, Huddersfield University
