Book Description
Understanding Human Motivation is a lively presentation of how factors such as biological nature, instinct, past experience, and society determine what we do.
"This new book on human motivation by Donald Laming represents a fresh look at an important area of psychology. The material is presented in the original idiom of real life stories in newspapers, which serve to illuminate classical controversies in social psychology. Although the book also has some novel theoretical insights, it should be particularly useful for students beginning in psychology." -- Trevor Robbins, University of Cambridge
