Easy and fun written, makes the topic easy to learn!

I got a copy of this book when I was writing an essay for my Master of Social Science degree. My belief was that I could use some of Falikowski's easy understandable examples and descriptions on human emotions and human behavior. It ended up being a much greater source of inspiration and knowledge than that. This is a book that is amazingly easy to read and comprehend. The risky bit is that one easily get into a very high pace, which tend to make it harder to stop and reflect on the insights given in each chapter. Falikowski concludes and sum up every chapter in a good way though, and also there are diagnostic and other tests ending every chapter. This way, the reader are given the chance to see if the new knowledge really "stick". I would recommend this book to anyone wanting to know more about human mind, emotions and behavior. Reading and doing some of the tests may be a good way to learn more about yourself, strengths and weaknesses, and how to use your own potential in the best way possible. As I said, it's remarkably easy reading, and I would have loved to spend some time over a dinner with Tony Baloney as Anthony Falikowski refer himself as in the foreword. The conversation would no doubt be full of laughter at the same time as it would be a opportunity to gain even more knowledge from this great Professor from Quebec.
