I'm officially beginning my (pop) psychology education. I'm going to read a 50 work Canon starting with
De Bono's "Lateral Thinking". I just finished this book (twice through), and it is fascinating. "Lateral thinking" is not a skill that, once mastered, provides epiphanies. This book is important because it really gets one thinking - about thinking. It gets into the processes of thinking. After this it's on to Freud, Int. of Dreams; Fred Skinner;
Gavin De Becker, The Gift of Fear; Eric Berne (Transactional Analysis);
Malcolm Gladwell, Blink; Karen Horney; Erik Erikson;
Carl Rogers, On Becoming a Person; Piaget, Maslow, Gestalt, Steven Pinker;
Eric Hoffer, The True Believer; Daniel Goleman;
R.D. Laing, The Divided Self: An Existential Study in Sanity and Madness; etc., etc. I'll post a blurb about each book as I read same.
