Does the way you sleep say something about the kind of person you are? Are hypochondriacs “fakers”? Can anger kill you? These are just three of the 15 “pop-psych” questions explored in Everyday Psychology. Each short, lively essay takes the latest information from newspaper reports, academic journals and popular magazines and gives it a personal, informal touch. The ideal text for getting students to examine and express their thoughts and feelings.

Key Features and Functions; A full page of warm-up activities gets students ready for each unit’s topic. Pre-reading skimming and vocabulary activities encourage students to actively read, not just translate, the main text. Readings are natural and colloquial, with technical terminology simply and clearly explained. Follow-up listening based comprehension and vocabulary retention exercises. An extra listening activity introduces additional information and ideas on the topic. Helps students better understand themselves while learning about others’ experiences and problems. Carefully and consistently organized for easy and effective use.
