I've always been amazed at Dr Raj Persaud's ability to explain difficult concepts simply to the general public. This is a wonderful read, packed full of useful insight and backed up with careful research.

I enjoyed greatly Dr persaud's ability to simplify complex theoretical ideas, this is a great read for anyone who is curious about how the mind works.. i'm looking forward to reading his next posts
By avid-reader
I actually enjoyed reading this book, because it presents technical, fairly dry material, in a very engaging way. Because its presented so well, I continue turning the pages at speed, to get to the 'truths' about human behaviour. The book condenses a lot of material, and makes it usable in everyday situtations. Many psychologists respond to individual problems etc and address life difficulties once they've happened. Raj enables you to navigate the pot-holes in advance, and to go into situtations from an educated standpoint. Perhaps, most invaluably, reading the book taught me things that I experience are everyone's problem not just mine. Its interactivity, also, made me pause and apply what I'd read. Perhaps, similarly to the Delphic oracle, Raj's core message is that the secret mantra to life, the 'unlocking' key is to 'Know thyself' first, before other things.
