This is a synopsis that reads like a detective story! A concise, informative, fascinating retelling of those outstanding works that have discovered something fundamentally new in our behavior, thinking or feelings. Among the selected authors are not only psychologists. For example, “de Becker is not a psychologist, but his book will tell you more about the nature of intuition, fear, and violent thinking than any academic publication on psychology.” Also here is “Visible Darkness”, a memoir in which the famous American novelist William Styron describes the experience of dealing with his own deep depression. “The book does not focus on analyzing problems, but reflects general thoughts and views on why people think and act the way they do.” And of course, Tom Butler-Bowdon talks about the work of the “founding fathers” – Freud, Adler, Perls, Berne and others. Each chapter is devoted to one work and its author, whose biography, views and contribution to science are described in the same way as the whole book is made – briefly and interestingly.
