Psy-Q
Autor Ben Ambridgeen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 dec 2014
Psychology is the study of mind and behavior: how and why people do absolutely everything that people do, from the most life-changing event such as choosing a partner, to the most humdrum, such as having an extra donut. Ben Ambridge takes these findings and invites the reader to test their knowledge of themselves, their friends, and their families through quizzes, jokes, and games. You'll measure your personality, intelligence, moral values, skill at drawing, capacity for logical reasoning, and more--all of it adding up to a greater knowledge of yourself, a higher "Psy-Q."
Lighthearted, fun, and accessible, this is the perfect introduction to psychology that can be fully enjoyed and appreciated by readers of all ages. Take Dr. Ben's quizzes to learn:
- If listening to Mozart makes you smarter
- Whether or not your boss is a psychopath
- How good you are at waiting for a reward (and why it matters)
- Why we find symmetrical faces more attractive
- What your taste in art says about you

Recenzii
Both broad and deep, serious but lots of fun. Recommended
A clear and engaging explanation of many psychological phenomena you've vaguely heard of, and many more you'll be glad to learn about
Clever, broad-minded and fun
He has a trickster's charm of "How did he do that?" presentation and a stage magician's "Hey presto!" delight in revelation
For all its easy-peasy, playful, tick-in-the-box larkiness, Psy-Q makes some very interesting points about the counter-intuitive nature of human psychology, and has a fresh and often iconoclastic take on even the most celebrated experiments
A cornucopia of brain-teasers and other (psycho)logical delights that will challenge, surprise and amuse
A readable, accessible and un-putdownable book that I managed to devour in an entire afternoon
As I completed what Ambridge calls my "psych-odyssey", I did have a better understanding of myself
A playful insight into the world of the human mind...Once finished with, it makes for great fun to turn psychologist and test friends and family and watch them sweat while you raise a brow uncomfortably
