Psychology: learn the science before the self-help
Editorial guidance for university students, with independent learners in mind. This is not an official university reading plan. Check your own syllabus before buying; editions and exercise numbers differ.

For a first course, choose a broad textbook that covers research methods, cognition, development, social behavior and mental health. Then specialize—such as organizational psychology or decision-making. Popular books can prompt questions, but do not treat them as a substitute for research methods or assigned empirical readings.
Suggested reading approach
- For each finding, record the research question, sample, method and limits before deciding what it says about people in general.
- Keep textbook chapters aligned with your course. If you explore a specialist book independently, label it as a focused case rather than a survey of the whole field.
