Me langetame kogu aeg oma teadmiste ja maailmamõistmise põhjal erinevaid otsuseid. Me mõtleme oma tegude üle ja kaalume, kas ja kuidas edaspidi paremaid otsuseid teha. Me vaatleme teisi enda ümber, otsime sihipärasust ja püüame konkreetses situatsioonis adekvaatselt reageerida. Psühholoogia uurib süstemaatiliselt seda, kuidas me mõtleme, mis mõjutab meie käitumist ja lõppkokkuvõttes sedagi, kes me oleme. "Saa tuttavaks psühholoogiaga" annab suurepärase ülevaate sellest põnevast teadussuunast. Lihtsas ja arusaadavas keeles kirjutatud raamatu abil saavad selgeks psühholoogia põhialused, alates tajust ja tunnetusest ning lõpetades õppimise, mälu, iseloomu ja palju muuga, mis on seotud inimmõistuse ja käitumisega.
