"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the the true source of all arts and sciences according to Albert Einstein. This best explains the front cover of this book.
Psychology is part of arts and sciences. It is the scientific study of human behaviors, and many of us are familiar with its various concepts yet upholds a certain mystique to it due to its myriad unknown natures. Herbert Carroll quips almost half a century ago that the distant galaxies are more amenable to human understanding than human behaviors. These words are still difficult to refute amidst mind-boggling technological breakthrough today.
The study of psychology also includes the study of mental processes: edge of man that is innate in each of us - making every one equal but distant at the same time. The human brain is a bioelectrochemical entity that enables us to appreciate our being, our environment, and life in general. Without it, we do not exist."--Backcover
