The 50 most famous myths in psychology

Popular psychology is a source rich in myths. It has produced widespread beliefs that everyone thinks are true, but psychological research contradicts them, refutes them, and proves their falsehood. This new book, "The 50 Most Famous Myths in Psychology," achieves a noble goal by demolishing many of those myths. The authors of the book study and examine 50 myths, identify the sources of those myths, the reasons why people believe them, and what published scientific research says about them. The book's authors also dismantle a total of 250 other myths in a simple format based on mentioning the myth and the truth that refutes it. The authors conclude the book by informing us of thirteen new discoveries in psychology that are hard to believe, proving that sometimes truth is stranger than fiction. This book provides a great service by gathering all this information in a convenient, easy-to-use format, demonstrating that correct science surpasses popular knowledge and instinctive intuition, and teaching us how to doubt and think critically about everything we hear.
