Fascinating science-based psychology

I've been reading Understanding Human Behavior for my general psychology class, and I've thoroughly enjoyed it. The authors are clever and insightful, and their logic is well thought-out. The explanations given are fact-based, not speculated, and every argument is backed up. It covers Darwinism, rats and mazes, neurons and synapses, and quite a bit more. This is the first textbook I've wanted to read for entertainment, but it's truly fascinating. I recommmend it to any layman who is interested in the way our minds work.
