Lifestyle Bookazine Psychology Now Volume 2 Second Revised Edition Back Issue

Understanding human behaviour and mental processes, whether our own or those belonging to others, is essential if we want to make better decisions and lead happier lives. Why do we feel certain emotions in specific situations? Why do we behave in particular ways? And what can we do to overcome the things that hold us back? Delve into the world of psychology and build a better relationship with your mind. Learn how to be kind to it, unlock its full potential and use it to your advantage. In the pages that follow, we explore 10 of the world’s most unethical psychology experiments, the nature versus nurture debate, and sibling rivalry. We also look into what makes us shy, why we lie, the reasons we laugh, and the benefits of being bored. We consider ways to improve our mental health, such as saying goodbye to social media, making and breaking friendships, and the benefits of meditation. We also look at the psychology behind concepts such as fight or flight, the placebo effect and bystander behaviour. Packed full of expert guidance from psychologists, counsellors and other professionals, we also speak exclusively to actress and activist Mika Simmons about breaking the taboo of women’s health and the importance of talking. The mind is a powerful tool. Learn how to take control of your own mind today for a happier, healthier tomorrow.
