Psychology in the 21st century is not the field of yesteryear that you may have learned about in high school. There is a greater emphasis on wellness, how we shape our own experiences, and how the principles of psychology can help you understand and improve your everyday life.

Human beings are endlessly fascinating. Our social organization, our perceptions of the world, our emotional range, and our inner thoughts all define what it means to be human. The field of psychology has always been the scientific study of mental processes and behavior, helping us to understand ourselves and the world around us. How do we think, feel, and remember? Why do we act the way we do? And, most important, is there any way we can train our minds to improve our lives?

What's new in the field of psychology is that many answers to these questions are beginning to be well understood. From the days of Freud, Piaget, and Skinner to the modern science of fMRIs, Introduction to Psychology is a grand introduction to one of the most captivating fields of inquiry-where the subject is you, and everyone around you. Taught by Professor Catherine A. Sanderson of Amherst College, these 36 insightful lessons not only give you a panoramic grounding in the history, methods, and fundamental findings of psychology, but they also introduce you to the most up-to-date 21st-century research and discoveries-including strategies to increase your happiness and to improve how to live your life.

For example, consider the way meditation may help you increase your focus. Or reflect on the way stress, diet, and sleep alter the chemical processes in your mind, affecting your judgment, mood, and overall sense of well-being. The brain is not a computer to be programmed, but it does remain malleable throughout life. And thanks to the discovery of this surprising "neuroplasticity," 21st-century psychology can give us much greater insight into how to optimize our brains, focus our mindset, and generally allow us to be our best selves.

As you will discover, psychology today sits at the intersection of genetics, behaviorism, neuroscience, education, aging, ethics, public policy, and a variety of other fields. When you complete Introduction to Psychology, you will come away with a new way of looking at the human experience. You will have gained insights to help you better understand yourself. And your new wealth of strategies will help you to think more clearly, be more courageous, strengthen relationships, and experience greater psychological and physical well-being.

Introduction to Psychology focuses on the exciting possibilities of what it means to be human. Take a look at how perception can be deceptive, investigate the many factors that cause stress (and how to manage them), or discover how you can optimize your performance in work and other facets of life.
