Publisher's Summary
First published in 1890, this book established psychology as a science and served as the quintessential work in the field for decades. James' intricate studies and paradigm-shifting ideas transformed the way we look at human thought and action. The text covers the core concepts of what it means to be human - brain function, consciousness, discrimination, memory, sensation, imagination, reasoning, and instinct. Chapters on four central ideas - habit, stream of consciousness (stream of thought, as James put it), emotion, and will - remain the definitive treatments of the topics.
James' work influenced all major branches of psychology that followed, including psychoanalysis, Würzburg, gestalt, behaviorism, cognitive psychology, evolutionary psychology, and behavioral economics. No credible psychologist of the last hundred years fails to cite William James and the Principles of Psychology as a major influence.
The book is published in two volumes, the first containing Chapters I through XVI and the second continuing from XVII to XXVIII.

Incredible. Founding father of psychology 1890.
Essential for any serious student of psychology.
James laid the foundation of modern psychology and is still celebrated in various societies etc.
His view of the subconscious mind and its multitude of parts is essential to understanding Freud's 3 divisions.
His Pragmatist school is very practical and useful.
It may have been published in 1890 but it is more useful than many products of the 2020's.

poor audio
horrible listening to this guys voice. he is droll and it is as if someone has told him to put some inflection on his words and his idea is to randomly, irrelevant of the timing, add an emphasis on words. often being the wrong words in the sentence..this is overly distracting.
