Product Description
Keith Stanovich's widely used and highly acclaimed book helps students become more discriminating consumers of psychological information, helping them recognize pseudoscience and be able to distinguish it from true psychological research. Stanovich helps instructors teach critical thinking skills within the rich context of psychology. It is the leading text of its kind. How to Think Straight About Psychology says about the discipline of psychology what many instructors would like to say but haven't found a way to. That is one reason adopters have called it "an instructor's dream text" and often comment "I wish I had written it. It tells my students just what I want them to hear about psychology".

5 out of 5 stars Thinking Straight About Psychology (8th ed.)   September 24, 2009
Green Peanut
This book was a very interesting read. The author explained concepts well and related many concepts to research in order for the reader to better understand the material. Anyone interested in understanding why psychology is misunderstood may enjoy reading this book.


5 out of 5 stars Great book. Must read if you're into psychology.   September 15, 2009
Philip Shin (Rosemead, CA USA)
There's not a whole lot to be said. This is an awesome book, written by an awesome writer and renown psychologist. It is easy to read and comprehend, but can be difficult to fully understand on the first read through. There's so much information in there that it's worth the trouble of trying to understand.

Worthwhile.

The book was affordable, had no highlights (wonderful) and in very good condition. It was also timely, which is very important.

I have read a lot of psychology, and the cynical views of Keith make me long for an unmodern approach. Don't waste your time.I agree with his ideas, but he casts a dim light on the positivity that psychology can bring, he wallows in negativity, just to be a realist. We really need some hope, not despair...
