I like psychology and I really read this book cover to cover in hopes it would get better as it went by the side of. It’s very superficial and technical and therefore dull. No matter-of-fact help in my job (the reason I bought it).

Excellent intro or refresher psych book if you can stand the poor attempt at humor throughout the book — typical of these reference books. I was also place off by the author’s continuous use of “she” or “her” when giving examples. The author is male and the rule of thumb in writing is to use similar gender reference or use “his or her” or “she or he.” Mr. Adam Cash, it’s nice that you are for women’s rights, just don’t be so pathetic in showing your liberal bias and subconscious guilt correlated to being a man

I recently took a psychology class, unfortunely my teacher has a PHD and uses nothing but huge humongous words. I bought this book because I’ve bought other Dummy books thought I would get a simpler or even exciting understanding. I like psychology but not everyone is an effective communicater/teacher. This book was no better, I was expecting the novelist to make it fun & simpler for those who want to learn the theme. I found it absolutely a waste of time and over my head. I’m a B+ student and I was frustrated alot with the meanings or interpretations given…after scratching my head, I checked out the book cover and low & behold …the novelist also has a PHD — enuff said. If you already know psychology then go ahead it buy it, but if you’re someone who needs a excellent know and need someone to KISS (keep it simple, stupid) keep your money in your pocket. It’s a fantastic book but not my cup of tea.

I found this book to be dry, superficial, and dull. The attempts at humor mentioned by other reviewers do not cut it. It ranges unevenly from being too technical in some areas to too general in others. But, my largest complaint is that the author makes numerous references such as “research says…”and “according to…” but there are no footnotes or bibliography for follow up. No works are cited, just names of psychologists.

I read this book in hopes of a solid general understanding of Psychology. What I got instead was a mediocre book at best. The attempts at humor were more annoying than amusing. I am sure that Mr. Cash may possibly have written a better book. To me, it felt like I was reading a textbook. There is one upside to the book, there is bounty of in rank. If you don’t mind a lot of in rank and an overall dull style of writing; then buy this book. I would suggest if you sought after a better overview, buy The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Psychology instead.
