Psychology is fun

Daniel J. Levitin, 2006, 320 pages

Why human beings make and enjoy 音乐 is, in Levitin’s telling, a delicious story. In this unprecedented meeting of art and science, rocker-turned-neuroscientist Daniel J.

It is commonly believed myth that personality testing instruments can measure your personality and predict your future behaviors. The pre-employment testing mechanism has been following this creed without any solid evidence. The testing industry claims all out validity. The educational institutions and employer organizations use them for screening purposes. Their transparency and equity has even convinced the courts of law.

Could 音乐 unlock the mystery of who we are and how we think?

An unprecedented blend of science and art, Daniel Levitin’s bestselling debut, This Is Your Brain on Music, changed the way we understand how 音乐 gets in our heads. Now, in what is being called a tour de force 由 leading scientists, he presents his audacious theory of ‘six songs,’ the key to how 音乐 shaped humanity across cultures and throughout history.

All the drama, chaos, and violence in the world...

Have 你 ever wondered why your spouse, coworkers, 或者 children seem to think so differently from you? 你 may not understand why they make the decisions they do, 或者 why they place such importance on things that seem inconsequential to you. It is possible to understand the 答案 to all these questions. The secret lies in the theory of Myers-Briggs personality type.

In the 1960's a psychological theorist named Katharine Briggs had many of the same 问题 你 do. She wondered why some of her family members had such logical, linear thinking processes, when she herself was 更多 likely to take...
