An in-depth look at a number of the newest issues in psychology and how they can influence our lives, at home and at work - from AI and Ecopsychology, to Wearables and W.E.I.R.D people. Psychologists have always shone a torch into many dark corners of the human mind - they study everything, from art preferences to altruism, coaching to criminality, gamification to greed, and microaggressions to mindset. But in our hyper-connected, post-pandemic society, less-understood issues are now emerging, causing significant disorientation for people trying to make sense of their ever-changing world and the tumultuous events unfolding around them. The language of psychology offers clear descriptions and explanations for a range of phenomena, including Authenticity, Conspiracy Theories, and Psychological Safety through to more recently recognized conditions, such as Imposted Syndrome, Unconscious Bias, and Zoom Fatigue.

Adrian Furnham offers an increased awareness and insight as to how these conditions manifest themselves, aiding people to better identify and realize their full potential. Written to accompany the highly successful Psychology 101, this book takes a closer look at 50 of the emerging concepts in modern psychology. The New Psychology explains how these issues could impact both our personal and professional lives, helping you to reassess the pressures facing you at work and pursue a more fulfilling work/life balance.
