Minds to
Ponder:
“Everything that irritates us
about others can lead us to
an understanding of
ourselves.”
- Nietzsche
----------------
"Be not afraid of life.
Believe that life is worth
living, and your belief
will help create the fact."
William James
----------------
“Part of living a healthy
life is paying attention
to friends and family.”
John Cacioppo
----------------
"Our goals are the subgoals
of the ultimate goal of the
genes, replicating
themselves."

Welcome Colleagues,
students,
friends and
fellow internet explorers!
Our website brings together all the things that
have been so
important to me over the years: my students,
my family,
and my successful 2nd edition of the
Discovering Biological Psychology textbook.
And now, allow me
to introduce something very special, our new textbook in Psychology:
________________________________________
"a
NEW
way to Teach Psychology!"
John Cacioppo and I
are proud to introduce our new textbook:
Discovering
Psychology: The Science of Mind.
(available: March 2012)
This is not your typical ‘modular’ textbook that treats each topic
as a separate, stand-alone unit. In the spirit of
the great American
psychologist William James, our textbook
integrates the formerly
disparate fields of psychology into an
interrelated, breathing and
living discipline. Just as we struggle to
understand the nature of
our being, we also study the ways we are nurtured
and how this
interaction of nature and nurture changes over
time. We discuss
how psychology is also one of the “hub
sciences”–a major
contributor to human knowledge and to our
understanding of
ourselves and the world around us.
Here is how our publisher describes a recorded webinar with John
Cacioppo in which he discusses this new approach:
“We’d like to invite you to view author John Cacioppo’s recorded
webinar on:
The Discipline of Psychology: How it’s changing,
and implications for how psychology is now
taught.
