50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology uses popular myths as a vehicle for helping students and laypersons to distinguish science from pseudoscience. It also 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", and provides a "mythbusting kit" for evaluating folk psychology claims in everyday life.

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
This is good for anyone that has not read a book in the last 15 years. There were good reviews so maybe this book is just wasn't for me.
What was most disappointing about the authors’s story?
These "widespread misconceptions" are far from widespread. I was hoping to learn something about human behavior, but it seems like the author wanted to make a quick buck by selecting common examples off the internet.
How many people actually believe "The average person only uses 10% of their brain"? Yeah, and a traffic signal only uses 1/3rd of its capacity at one time. Just imagine if it used 100%.

We expect our judges to be honest and wise. Their integrity and impartiality are the bedrock of the entire judicial system. We trust them to ensure fair trials, to protect the rights of all litigants, to punish those who do wrong, and to oversee the orderly and efficient flow of justice. But what happens when a judge bends the law or takes a bribe? It’s rare, but it happens. Lacy Stoltz is an investigator for the Florida Board on Judicial Conduct. She is a lawyer, not a cop, and it is her job to respond to complaints dealing with judicial misconduct.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Whistler to be better than the print version?
I have not read the book but the voice of the narrator makes me want to instead. Audible please re-release this using a different narrator.
What didn’t you like about Cassandra Campbell’s performance?
Her voice just doesn't match the story and makes me cringe. Perhaps there is a filter to add fingernails scratching a chalkboard to make it easier to listen to.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I can't relax and listen to the story. I keep turning it off after a few minutes due to that grating voice. I'm a John Grisham fan and am barely through a few chapters due to wanting to pause the audio book all the time.
Any additional comments?
Apologies for being so harsh on Ms. Campbell. I'm sure she is a lovely lady. Just not my taste in narrators.
