About this episode
This episode explores the definition of psychology and its various perspectives, serving as a foundational introduction to the podcast's themes.
What is psychology? Why are there so many views on how human psychology works? What are some key questions in psychological work? This is both a foundational episode for understanding all of the work I do on this podcast, and for our May and June Psychology series, where we look at many critical questions in psychological and self-development work. My definition? Psychology is the study of why you are the way you are. [I apologise for the mic taps.
