The New Psychology

From the author of The Psychology of Individual Differences in the Workplace

An in-depth look at some of the latest concepts in psychology and how they influence our personal lives and professional development—from artificial intelligence and ecopsychology to conspiracy theories and digital leadership.

Psychologists have always been interested in the most hidden corners of the human mind and soul: from aesthetic preferences, altruism, and mentorship to criminal behavior, a sense of justice, and honesty. In today's high-tech, post-pandemic world, however, new and still poorly understood phenomena are emerging, often creating uncertainty for those trying to make sense of the changes around them.

Psychology provides clear descriptions and explanations for a variety of mental states, including syndromes characteristic of our time. A better understanding of their manifestations and the possibilities for influencing them gives people the chance to live fully and to discover and develop their strengths.

The book examines 50 new ideas in modern psychology, including the psychology of passion, implicit biases, and imposter syndrome. The author explains how these phenomena affect society and all aspects of daily life and mental well-being, helping us achieve a better work-life balance.
