What is Psychology? (#143)

What is Psychology? (#143)

What is psychology? Why are there so many views on how human psychology works? What are some key questions in psychological work?

This is both a foundational episode for understanding all of the work I do on this podcast, and for our May and June Psychology series, where we look at many critical questions in psychological and self-development work.

My definition? Psychology is the study of why you are the way you are.

[I apologise for the mic taps. I attempted to edit out as many as possible.]
