good, but with wrong accents

Revisado: 07-13-24

The most informative parts (forst few) are very condensed; so much so that it's hard to understand and remember. the useless parts later though are, on the contrary, too long.
Also, the book doesn't come with a pdf or something with illustrations?! really?! it would've been hard to follow even with it, and this way it's just useless in some parts. If u ask me it should come with videos even.

incompetent and biased author. though breadth is fine

Revisado: 04-11-24

The author does not understand research methods and, more so, statistics (e.g. interpretation of effect size, so he often overestimates power of discoveries).
He also does not know some issues mentioned in the book in depth (e.g. relationship of big5 with polit. orientation is not that tight, which has been shown by meta-analyses); Breadth (of psychological aspect) is good (did miss a few important findings, but that's ok).
On the political side through the book is rubbish it accentuates irrelevant and useless information while doing this in a biased and shallow way; The worst maybe that this very part is the biggest in the book, e.g. chapters 7 to 13 is occupied by this kind of bs.

inconsistent and jumping around

Revisado: 02-02-24

this book does contain many interesting facts, but few of them are directly related to the topic. As author himself admits "this could have been the shortest book ever: only 3 words", but seems he tried hard to cram anything even remotely connected in it to make it bigger. e.g. It may as well be called The Hystery (and/of evolution) of Invention or Autism and Invention.
Also, dude not only overgeneralizes, universilizes and overapplies, but also misinterprets his own theory: sometimes says the E & S are unrelated and sometimes mutually exclusive.

good book, but bad audio

Revisado: 09-09-23

The book contains many interesting facts and shows a very long and twisted way of Liberalism, which highlights it's ambiguousness very well.
It's s a shame though, that the audio volume is not properly adjusted, which makes it impossible to listen to with phone in even just a little noise. Just turn up the volume god damn it, is it so hard!?

great for parents and even professionals

Revisado: 09-02-23

Well grounded in science; Explained in depth (so that even professionals may find something new); yet easy to understand. Though this may not be the best choice for someone who just wants practical advice and doesn't care about their scientific explanations.

fantastic! truly a great course!

Revisado: 08-14-23

I am a psychology professor myself, but still learned a lot from this. If I ever get to teach personality, I would definitely choose this as my main source and guide. Thanks to everyone!

only one minor advice for improvement would be that in a chapter about authenticity, it would have been better to first introduce supporting arguments or at least a good description of the term and then start critiqueing it.

full of unscientific and even irrelevant bullshit

Revisado: 11-11-22

there is some interesting stuff in the beginning and in the end, but in between (from about last chapters of the first part till almost the very end) it's filled with either unscientific, literary, pseudophylosofphical bullshit or just irrelevant crap. not just that, they also tell hours of tedious stories about authors of work being discussed.
also, chapters are not connected with each other well.

scientific American? no that's more of a poetic thirldwordian

Very misleading title

Revisado: 10-24-22

This lecture course "explains" nothing; it's just a very entry level introduction to the subject.
