Dr. Roy Baumeister’s eight-hour course: Big Ideas in Psychology Part 1, is available now.
In this course, Dr. Baumeister guides us through an exploration of the forces that shape human behavior, cognition, and experience. We delve into our need to belong, the power of negativity bias, humans as cultural animals, the functions of emotion, the nature of self-control, male and female sexuality, the evolutionary psychology of political behavior, and the mechanisms of free will.
The course reveals how these diverse factors interact to influence our thoughts, feelings, and actions, providing a comprehensive framework for understanding the human mind and its profound social and cultural context.
