Ask HN: Introduction to Psychology?
Dear community,
I've recently become interested in psychology. Do you have any recommendations for starters? I doesn't really matter if it is books, podcasts, websites or documentaries.
Thanks in advance!

- HanQi 7y agoI love psychology！When I was an undergraduate I read a lot of psychology books and take some courses which totally change my life . I figure out that introduction to psychology is pretty boring to me because it is too broad and not relevant with everyday life ,so I highly recommend to learn two significant branches of psychology: Positive Psychology :https://positivepsychology.com/harvard-positive-psychology-course-1504/ https://positivepsychology.com/harvard-positive-psychology-c... Great course taught by great teacher. Cognitive bias:https://www.amazon.com/How-Know-What-Isnt-Fallibility/dp/0029117062/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=how+we+know+what+isn%27t+so&qid=1564309982&s=gateway&sr=8-1 https://www.amazon.com/How-Know-What-Isnt-Fallibility/dp/002... Modern psychology is very interesting and powerful，enjoy it！
