Super interesting read for someone who struggles to keep up with an entire story like me

Each story is short enough to keep yourself interested at any time without feeling like you're missing anything. The writing is informative without feeling like you're reading a medical journal/article too so it's very easy to follow along

super duper Informative

I am a psychology student and have always been fascinated with the brain. I did not buy this book from this cite and I wish i knew about this website before I bought any of my books! But, this book is absolutely fascinating! The chapters are long but jam-packed of interesting information and the history that influenced/founded each breakthrough in the psychology field. I loved this book and used to as a reference for a few undergraduate research papers. I highly recommend this book for anyone who wishes to expand their knowledge on the brain, cognitive functions and psychology's history.
