The field of psychology is the study of sensitivity, action, and consciousness, or briefly, human behavior. Its main problems are development, heredity, instincts, habits, sensation, memory, thinking, and individual differences. Its method is observation and experiment, the same as in all other sciences.
Find answers on basic questions: What is human nature like? Why do we act as we do? How can we make ourselves different? How can we make others different? How can we make our lives more worth while? How we can make ourselves more efficient? We want to help all readers who are interested in the science of psychology to obtain basic knowledge of human nature, to answer those questions and attain knowledge needed to help them in their life.
No knowledge can be of more use to a person than a knowledge of himself/herself and at the same time no study can be more valuable to a person than a study of himself or herself. A study of the laws of human behavior, that is the purpose of the materials provided.
