About this listen

Every interaction you have with people, each day of your life, involves social psychology. For those of us who have struggled to fit in or wish we received more invitations to socialize, this relatively new field of study can be eye-opening when it comes to gaining a better understanding of the basics of human interactions.

In this illuminating Audible Original, Professor Wind Goodfriend explores the various facets of social psychology, including how we form personal identities, the importance of perceptions, the human need to be liked and respected, stereotypes and prejudices, and more.

Social psychology can be both fascinating in its own right and, ideally, applicable to your everyday life. It can offer you insights into how you relate to others in your friendships, how other people make judgments about you, how to get others to help you, how to manage your anger and aggression, what power of persuasion you have at your fingertips, and so much more.

Not up to Great Courses usual standard.  I found the lecturer a little bit light and liberal.   Matt Lieberman handled the subject much better. One notable omission was the Southern states having toxic masculinity, with no further explanation.  Southern States mainly settled by Irish and Scottish immigrants who come from livestock farming backgrounds therefore more assertive by nature than arable farmers

A little superficial.

Super accessible and succinct intro to social psychology with superb narration and great explanations/definitions of concepts. A PDF would make it perfect!

Engaging!
