Forced to rent this textbook for an "Effective Thinking" (Psychology) class... Book is way too verbose. Examples seem contrived, like the authors are trying too hard to make the material seem "relevant" to college students. Most of the examples are made-up stories centered around the social lives of college students (e.g. a college girl who gets drunk in a nightclub and winds up screaming at another girl, only to later realize she may have embarrassed herself in front of a "cute guy" from her Communications class)... Sorry, but as an older student, I cannot relate to any of this. What's worse, my professor quizzes us on the most trivial details from the book (presumably to make sure we actually do the reading assignments). The result is that I find myself skimming a sparse and fluff-filled text for such trivia, rather than key concepts that, if present at all, are thoroughly buried. Not a great use of my time.
This book seems to be written for elementary or high school level education. The material was useful specifically the last chapter and I wouldnt have bought it had it not been so cheap in the used section.
The text is brilliant but seriously people, stop printing everything in stupid column format. I hate reading those stupid columns it's so inefficient. At least offer multiple versions for reader preference.
Only got this book because of a class otherwise it would have never seen the light of day. This book has way too many movie references and stupid scenario that doesn't help make the reader understand the examples any better, in fact it confuses a lot. Overall, I CANNOT recommend this book to anyone.
This book is hard to read if you have ADD. Lots happening on a page, always a distraction. The content so far is very basic and geared to a young person entering college out of high school - not me. It's okay, but I'd prefer something a little more academic.
I needed this book for school. It was possibly the most God awful book and course I have EVER taken. I mean there is an entire chapter on experts and states that an expert isn't an expert if they are teaching about something that is not in their field of expertise. DUH! Common sense. It should be the book of common sense. Unfortunately, I didn't feel like I gained anything from reading it. Thank God I passed the class and don't have to do it again!
I agree with a previous reviewer. The pages are very busy, makes it difficult to focus on the content. Especially because the content is so basic. It's a shame because it has some interesting questions and ideas.
Overpriced! Irrelevant content and extremely boring.
