This social psychology book is brilliant, and I love reading it. It is bang up to date with recent research. It is very accessible, and can be read quickly. I have gone back to this book time and again.
The authors have written in areas in which that are experts in their field. Dachar Keltner, on emotions, power, class, attribution theory. Thomas Gilovich is an expert when it comes to decision making, and biases. The chapters are very well written, excellently organised, and the type is large, which not only makes it more readable, but research by Norbert Schwartz shows that is makes the concepts appear easier to digest. The visual aspect of the book is first class, and makes pulling out the book enticing.
Personally, My favourite chapters were on the self, attributions (which I thought was brilliant, emotions, close relationships, social influence, prejudice, and groups, and the applied chapters at the end, which were very interesting).
I rate this book as a must read, whether you are doing an undergrad course, or are just interested in what makes people behave the way they do.
