Dennis Greenberger, Christine Padesky
The Guilford Press, 1995
it helped me
This book was recommended by my phychologist. He couldn't have been more right on. This is the first real help I have had in solving a lot of anxiety and stress in my life. It is so down to earth on what we know but what we so easily overlook in our fix for the human condition. The work pages allow you to really personalize the advice. I would buy it again and I would recommend to all who want to ...

The Political Mind: Why You Can't Understand 21st-Century American Politics with an 18th-Century Brain11 reviews
George Lakoff
Viking Adult, 2008
Metaphorical wars cannot be won or lost
The war on terror is just a metaphor. The war on drugs is just a metaphor. Perhaps if this book had been published six years ago, we could have prevented our invasion and occupation of Iraq.
For more than ten years I have been searching for a
metaphor to counter the war on drugs metaphor. With no success.
However, by pointing out that the so-called war on drugs is just a metaphor, we ...

Train Your Mind, Change Your Brain: How a New Science Reveals Our Extraordinary Potential to Transform ...68 reviews
Sharon Begley
Ballantine Books, 2007
Very insightful!
Sharon Begley's "Train Your Mind Change Your Brain" does a fine job of exploring the science of neuroplasticity which upends long thought beliefs that the brain becomes hardwired early in life and can't be changed other than through physical techniques like medication, etc. Rather, by concentrating one's thinking in certain ways, actual physical changes can be effected in the brain. That is, the ...

McGraw-Hill Humanities/Social Sciences/Languages, 2007
International Edition
This is still Psychology: The Science of Mind and Behavior 4th Edition by Passer, it's just an International Edition. An official McGraw Hill representative said they don't encourage the sale of this book outside of international borders, but it has the same content as the North American version and it's cheaper! It'll just be harder to sell it back to your college bookstore :)

How the Mind Works 164 reviews
Steven Pinker
W. W. Norton & Company, 1999
A Logical Mind Interprets and Sees a Logical Mind
I found this book to be excellent and a fun read.
It goes into detail about how one can view the human mind from a logical and behaviorist stand-point. He discusses a computer program type analogy for how a mind can work with a minimum of sub-programs or data types.
I did find the book a little too heavy on the logical and strictly behaviorist point of view. The human mind or any mind for ...
