A classic introductory psychology textbook, Social Psychology

This series uses four modules—social thinking, social influence, social relationships, and applied social psychology—to give you an easy way into social psychology and help you build a complete knowledge system.

The program explores how to view yourself, relationships between people, and practical applications and case studies. It covers self-concept, intimate relationships, group influence, and other topics, along with global issues we face today, such as population growth and global warming, explaining scientifically how social psychology shapes them.

Throughout, scientific rigor and humanistic breadth come together beautifully, balancing feeling and reason. I also invited Zhichao Wei, a psychology PhD from East China Normal University, to lead the complete book in 6 sessions, with 20 professional psychology consultants joining in to answer questions. All to help you get a firm grasp of psychological knowledge without breaking a sweat.
