Psych is a fascinating look on the modern science of psychology. Not only is it an overview on the subject, but Paul Bloom also argues that some of the most widely accepted theories are wrong. This would be an excellent companion book in courses with his insight. It's interesting to learn why we think and feel the way we do. Highly recommended!

Paul Bloom's "Psych" is a must read when it comes to understanding the human mind, emotions, psyche, and our interactions with each other. I am much smarter and wiser after reading this book!

Thank you, Dr. Bloom, for writing the perfect brief companion book for general psychology courses. Personally, I am leaning toward using this book next fall 2023 in my course with deep-dive content coming from current peer-reviewed research and media. Students are tired of encyclopedic textbooks and this book is an excellent and rather deep overview of the big ideas and questions of psychology. Introductory psychology courses should get people excited about psychology and eager to value what we learn from the science of psychology in their personal and professional lives. Psych does this well!

Superb. Anyone interested in psychology and the human mind will find great value in this book -- from laypersons and novices to the field, students up through graduate level, as well as seasoned researchers within it (for the spectacular example of communication to a wide audience it provides). Based on his popular Yale introductory psychology course lectures (with huge view counts on You Tube), Paul Bloom covers across 15 lucid and personably crafted chapters the foundations of the field, Freud, Skinner, consciousness, child development, language, memory, perception, rationality, emotions, motivations, the replicability crises, behavioral, prejudice, individual differences, mental illness and, among many other topics, positive psychology. Bloom is also the co-editor of Behavioral and Brain Sciences, the highest impact-factor journal in the behavioral sciences by several key measures. The breadth and depth of knowledge such a role entails is reflected in the synthetic and synoptic ease of this wonderful book.
