General Psychology That version is better

It's not very clear how specific you are as a newbie.

If you are a freshman majoring in psychology, I recommend you "General Psychology" (edited by Ye Yiqian, He Cundao, and Liang Ningjian) of China Normal University, which is the best I have read in my heart.

If you are a non-professional without any foundation in psychology and just want to know some common sense of psychology, it is not recommended that you read textbooks such as "General Psychology", because it is too theoretical and boring, and it is likely to discourage your interest in psychology. I recommend a more popular primer - "Psychology Changes Life" (note that it is not the more widely circulated "Psychology and Life" on the market!) This book is very well written, and it is easy for people who have no previous psychological foundation to understand some basic psychological concepts and principles in a short period of time.

First of all, from the appearance, we can see that the fifth edition feels particularly beautiful, the cover design is very beautiful, and the texture on the hand is also particularly smooth.

Secondly, the whole book design is more user-friendly, which is reflected in our paper and layout design.

Let's open the inner page first, and we can find that the paper of the fifth edition is a little yellowish, in fact, this is also conducive to our better reading, and this kind of paper can better protect our eyesight.

Typesetting. There is also a big improvement on it, the fourth edition is horizontal, and the fifth edition, it is divided into two halves for each bad page, I don't know if everyone in the process of reading the book, do you have this feeling, you look horizontally, there will be a feeling that you have read a little bit for a long time, this page is always unfinished, but you look vertically like this, you can see the bottom at once, and then start another side Bu Liang to read, in fact, it will give people a feeling that they will soon finish reading a part of the knowledge points, which is also following the gestalt in our psychology.

The organizing principle is that people have this tendency to complete the form.

Next, let's take a look at an improvement in the content that everyone is interested in, revising or reinterpreting some vague and incomprehensible concepts.

Finally, the fifth edition of General Psychology is equipped with a study manual.

1. Psychology and Life;

Psychology and Burning Life is a textbook used by Stanford University for many years, and it is also a classic textbook that has been promoted and used in many universities in the United States.

2. Social Psychology, 8th Edition;

There is no best, only whether it is right for you.

Make a list of things for your own reference:

Professor Zimbardo: Psychology and Life General Psychology ——— these two textbooks are suitable for self-study.

Three Kinds of Psychology – Freud Skinner and Rogers' theories of psychology].Quickly understand mainstream psychological theories.

The path less traveled – I don't plan to do psychology as a discipline. I just want to make myself better through psychology-related knowledge.

The three famous books of psychology are:

1, "The Rabble" [Luzao or Law] Gustave Le Pen.

The Rabble: A Study in Mass Psychology is a book on the study of mass psychology. In the book, Le Pen expounds on the characteristics of the group and the psychology of the group, pointing out that when the individual is an isolated individual, he has his own distinct personality characteristics, and when the person is integrated into the group, all his personality will be overwhelmed by the group, and his thoughts will be immediately replaced by the thoughts of the group.

And when a group exists, it has characteristics such as emotional, non-dissent, and low IQ. The book has been translated into more than 20 languages and is very popular among the bestsellers.

2. "Psychology and Life" [United States] Richard Grieg, Philip Zimbardo.

Psychology and Life is a very professional book written by a professor of psychology at the State University of New York at the State University of New York. This book has even been a textbook for Stanford University, an American university, and is also recommended by the Psychological Guidance Committee of the Ministry of Education of China.

This book is about educational ideas and unique teaching methods. Moreover, the writing is fluent, easy to understand, more in-depth life, and connects psychological theory and knowledge with people's daily life and work, making it also an excellent reading material for the general public to understand psychology and themselves.

3. "The Interpretation of Dreams" [Austria] Sigmund Freud.

This book is a work of psychological theory written by the famous psychologist Sigmund Freud, which pioneered Freud's theory of "the analysis of dream companions", which is described by the author himself as a shortcut to "understanding the mental processes of the subconscious". The book introduces the concept of self and describes Freud's theory of the unconscious, which is used to analyze dreams, and by extension, psychology, to interpret the appearance of people's subconscious in dreams.

The Interpretation of Dreams tells people who were once ignorant and full of doubts for the first time: dreams are a real dialogue between a person and his own heart, a process of learning from himself, and another life closely related to himself.
