Description
Would you like to instantly catch people's thoughts, emotions, motivations, and intentions through mere observation?
If yes, you've come to the right place!
10-Minute Social Psychology is a unique book that takes a deeper look into social conflicts: what causes them, what keeps them alive, and most importantly—what you can do about them. The book presents how social awareness is built and takes you step by step through its various mindset shifts and actionable observations.
Using the best studies and lessons of social neuroscience and social psychology, this book helps you understand how others influence your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Establishing connection between raw biological and social cognition, the neuroscientific method can have a tremendous impact on our behavior. Improve your:
- decision-making;
- critical thinking and reasoning;
- physical and mental well-being; and your
- self-understanding.
10-Minute Social Psychology addresses social concerns such as discrimination, in- and out-group dynamics, competition vs. cooperation, and social acceptability and likability, using neuroscience and social psychology-backed data, giving guidelines and critical-thinking practices to diminish these concerns.
Learn to predict and change others' behavior, as well as your own.
- How can our understanding of social behavior be expanded upon and improved?
- How do social processes impact the human brain?
- Which brain areas implement social behavior? Can we influence them?
Become more likable by becoming more empathetic.
-Tame the social categorization muscle in dimensions like gender, race, or age.
- What is the cost of social stress?
- How do we become better at cooperation and competition?
- How do we become less susceptible to social influence?
Humans are social creatures—our health and well-being partially depends on others. 10-Minute Social Psychology helps you to understand the critical function of how we make sense of and connect with people.

5By Bigfrank917I learned a lot of things from this bookWolf pack has been disproven
1By hktiredkdwIf the opening pages reference a disproven theory i am hesitant to read the restDon’t know what I expected…
1By bondfan50From a free book. On the 2nd page the author quotes the debunked “Alpha Male” dominance hierarchy which famously came from only studying wolves in captivity. This comes from Schenkel’s 1947 “Expressions Studies on Wolves” and “The Wolf: Ecology and Behavior of an Endangered Species,” written in 1968, published in 1970, by Dr. L. David Mech, who has repeatedly begged publishers and distributors to pull the book. But it gets better, the author doesn’t cite the study or the book, they site ‘Wolffacts.org’. Yikes.Easy read with good information!

5By ZeusLeGawdVery informative insight on the inner workings of psychology. I understand others better. I’m more patient with finding ways to connect with others and I now see the footprints of the circles that I have already connected with.
