There’s loads of claims out there about popular psychology that we regularly hear. Statements like “You only use 10% of your brain” and “as you get older you forget more and your mind deteriorates” you’ll hear not infrequently. Others might claim “oh I’m one of those left brain people” or that you can learn information whilst asleep – these statements are all regularly claimed without any question.
Possibly the best book at debunking these statements is 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology. It covers plenty of subjects from ESP, subliminal messages through to ideas that men and women communicate differently or your handwriting reveals things about your personality.
A good fun read that you may be too late to purchase from Amazon (I wouldn’t know) so best head over there and get a copy of the Atheists guide to xmas instead. 
Oh well, it’s not without reason called popular psychology I guess .. ehehehe …
I’ve already skimmed through this book
I agreed with just about everything in it…. and was quite relieved I wasn’t believing in any bullshit lol.
Does this mean I can stop saying to everyone, “You have thehandwriting of a psychopath. Look at the big loops on your G’s!”
Finally! Though I firmly believe that some people (mostly politicians) do only use 10% of their brain
And I also concur with Jess xxx because most politicians do write with slanted letters and the big loops do indeed indicate that they are bipolar, psychopaths =)
