To help users understand the value and usefulness of psychology in their daily lives, Nairne presents PSYCHOLOGY FOR A REASON. Rather than focusing exclusively on the content of psychology--the "what"--Nairne infuses each chapter with the "why,"--explaining how our thoughts and actions help us solve the problems we encounter every day. This unique approach allows students to understand the function and purpose of psychology and its topics first--psychology is no longer presented as a mixture of abstract topics that need to be memorized. This approach promotes critical thinking; as students progress through each chapter, they become engaged as they see the connection between problems and their psychological solutions. They also begin to relate the material to what they already know from their own lives. This theme extends across chapters, offering readers a consistent and effective learning framework.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read

This book is awesome! I love how the author puts humor into the text and actually uses examples from his experiments. He also keeps you involved by using language familiar to the younger generations instead of blabbing on and on with jargin from the 50s. It's an awesome book!

This book was interesting and presented information in an easy-to-understand way. The author definitely has a sense of humor and it shows in the text. Unfortunately after reading 3 chapters, I realized that this was not the book I needed for class; I plan on reading it anyways, though.

I suggest those for not understanding psychology, to use this as a guide. I bought this book but never needed but was a great reference.

This book is nice and easy to use but DO NOT rent the book if you need the access card. I had to purchase the access card as well (sigh). Be sure that hte access card is included in your purchase before purchasing!
