Explanation of the book
Psychology is the study of the mind, but this simple formulation covers a vast and bewildering field of human thought and behavior, from the biology of the brain and nervous system to the meaning of love and happiness. Psychology has been called the “science of humanity” because it attempts to scientifically study the things that make us human. The key word here is “science.” Many other branches of knowledge—philosophy, history, cultural studies—explore similar or overlapping areas, but psychology is different because it attempts to approach them scientifically.
