A mini practical handbook for Psychology. The book Psychology in 15’ explains the role understanding psychology can play in our daily lives and in our way of thinking.

Each chapter addresses – in a clever and entertaining way – an important question and explains how the greatest minds in the world have approached the issues that concern us all: the nature of the mind and why we do what we do. Why do we get distracted and lose interest? Why do we forget why we entered a room? How does advertising affect us? Does power really corrupt? Will we be happy if we win the lottery?
