If you know psychology, you can easily solve problems or issues that arise in life.
Human relationships, love, work, money, social issues, etc.
Most of the conflicts that arise in life originate in the human mind, and psychology is the study of the mind of human beings.
Psychology helps us explore ourselves, understand others, and learn how to adapt to society.

The new book, "30 Must-Read Psychology Books from Around the World," contains 30 famous books on psychology that deal with the human mind.
We have selected existing classics of psychology based on the field of modern psychology.
Some chapters are based on lecture notes that are easier to read than papers or thick, technical books by important psychologists.
I also mentioned the book, which became an important point of discussion in the history of psychology's doctrines, because I thought it would be good to know it for further study of psychology.

The book broadly divides the field of psychology into three categories.
Cognitive-behavioral psychology deals with the biological psychology of humans; developmental psychology deals with the psychology of humans as developing and growing beings; and social psychology deals with the psychology of humans who form and live in society.
Since it mainly deals with authors and books that are familiar even to those who are not familiar with psychology, you can start by reading the famous books that you like and are familiar with.


It helps us understand ourselves and others, think about human nature, and see the world differently.

The author says that for us, who live in an era of extreme change, psychology helps us understand ourselves and others, helps us realize the meaning of life, and provides us with the analytical skills to critically examine social issues and popular culture, as well as clues to solutions.

Frederick Skinner's "Beyond Freedom and Dignity," Sigmund Freud's "Introduction to Psychoanalysis" and Jung's "Psychological Types" are all famous books that tell us "Who am I?" Carl Rogers' "Theory and Practice of Counseling," Walter Mischel's "The Marshmallow Test," and Robert Cialdini's "The Psychology of Persuasion" provide tips for observing others according to their purpose.

And that's not all.
In "Why Mindfulness Meditation?", Jon Kabat-Zinn explains mindfulness for living as oneself, and in "The Origins of Human Communication," Michael Tomasello looks into humans communicating cooperatively.
Erik Erikson advocated identity in his book Identity and the Life Cycle.
Erich Fromm's "Escape from Freedom" and Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" point to our constant questioning of the nature of humanity.

Although these are in-depth original works, they are written with compact commentary so that each volume can be understood in 10 minutes, so you can sufficiently get started by reading just this book.
The most practical way to use this book is as an overview.
I recommend using this book to get the structure of psychology into your head and gradually delve deeper into the authors and books that interest you.
These globally influential psychology masterpieces will inspire further exploration and reflection.
