Review
"I thought chapters 4, 5,6, and 8 were well written and covered topics that are not covered much in other textbooks." "The way the book is organized allows for the inclusion and consideration of ideas/research that is difficult to define in 'traditional' psychology (i.e. flow, 'the zone'). I especially like the way that topics in 'Traditional' introductory psychology textbooks (e.g. social/personality/developmental/clinical) are presented with different information and different studies than I have seen before."
