Why Do We Feel, Think and Behave Like This? – Paperback

Why Do We Need to Understand Psychology?
Each of us has an inner world that, more often than not, we do not fully understand. We have thoughts we share with no one, emotions we struggle to explain, fears we try to hide, and desires we sometimes lack the courage to acknowledge.
We feel joy, fall in love, suffer, become angry, forgive, forget, hope, and fear. Sometimes we make decisions we later regret. At other times, we react in ways that even we cannot explain. We grow close to some people and avoid others. We seek the appreciation of those around us, yet at the same time, we want to be accepted for who we truly are.
Psychology is the science that studies behaviour and mental processes. It seeks to explain how we think, feel, learn, remember, communicate, and relate to the world around us.
But psychology is not merely an academic discipline studied at universities and researched in laboratories. It is present in every aspect of our daily lives.
We encounter it when a parent tries to understand their child’s behaviour, when two partners attempt to resolve a conflict, when a teacher looks for the best way to motivate students, or when someone tries to regain their self-confidence.
We find it in our families, at school, in the workplace, in friendships, in love, and even in the relationship we have with ourselves.
This book aims to bring psychology closer to people.
