Nicky Hayes's short history of psychology runs through 40 compact chapters, from ancient Greece to Kahneman. It shows how our ideas about the mind took shape: the development of language and memory, the arguments over IQ testing, behaviourism, Milgram's experiments, neuroscience — and the uncomfortable pages too: eugenics, anti-psychiatry, wartime propaganda.

Key highlights:

• 40 short chapters — easy to read one at a time
• From antiquity to modern neuroscience in a single survey
• Difficult concepts explained without academic jargon
• Ukrainian translation by Anastasiia Tsymbal
