I came here in search of a third edition to get re-inspired. Buy this book to learn not some much about psychology - but about life!

I read this book for the first time in 1987. The years have passed but still Roger Brown's observations and description provides a brilliant and wonderful reading for both academics and the lay reader. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in learining about social psychology.

From one of the best psychologists of the century comes one of the best texts on psychology of the century. Beautifully written in an entertaining style, this book will change how you view the social world around you. A must on any psychology major's shelf, or anyone else interested in social psychology.
