About

Knowledge does not arrive fully formed, it requires many minds to puzzle over the evidence, and, step by step, edge ever closer to an answer. This book tracks the history of psychology, where scientists have sought to understand the mental world, a world that exists only in our heads and is filled with our thoughts, dreams, and emotions.

Today, psychologists are using the latest brain scanners and big data analysis techniques to reveal new ways of understanding how the mind works, where our personalities come from, and how to fix mental illness when it arises.

A 12-page removable timeline embeds the story in historical context.
