"Social Psychology" provides a quick glimpse into a fascinating field. If you've ever analyzed the behaviors of others and wondered why they act the way they do, this book is for you.Author Jonny Bell explains the concepts of social psychology in a concise manner, and the book held my attention the entire time. He also delves into a brief history of the field, and even talks about 4 famous and controversial experiments, as well as their findings.My favorite chapter was the section of social experiments, which readers can try on their own. I inadvertently did one similar to experiment #1 (The Wrong Elevator Ordeal) when I thought the single-person restroom was occupied in a restaurant. Everyone was waiting behind me, and it wasn't until I figured out that the door was stuck that the line finally began to move!I would definitely recommend reading this book, and even doing some of the experiments. Fun book, and so applicable.
