About this listen

50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology uses popular myths as a vehicle for helping students and laypersons to distinguish science from pseudoscience.

  • Explores topics that listeners will relate to, but often misunderstand, such as "opposites attract", "people use only 10% of their brains", and "handwriting reveals your personality"
  • Provides a "mythbusting kit" for evaluating folk psychology claims in everyday life
  • Teaches essential critical thinking skills through detailed discussions of each myth
  • Includes over 200 additional psychological myths for listeners to explore

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

So many common misconceptions! I feel privileged to have had my eyes opened. A fascinating book.

I’ve had to put this book “down” because of how it often goes through a list of facts, disputes them but doesn’t explain nor elaborate. Simply stating X is wrong Y is right makes for a very poor so-called fact-based book. Am I to simply take you in your word? That’s not how any of this should be done. When it does explain it’s good but for a majority of facts stated it does not.
