Book description
Imagine finally understanding why your social media scroll feels so draining, or how to untangle the AI-induced anxiety at work-without needing a degree. Adrian Furnham's The New Psychology is that rare audiobook that makes complex modern dilemmas feel instantly relatable. You hear his calm, engaging voice (think a trusted professor who skips jargon) guiding you through 50 emerging psychological concepts-like the "psychology of passion" or hidden biases in AI-that actually shape your daily life. It's not just theory; it's practical, urgent, and deeply human.
Furnham connects the dots between pandemic-era shifts and today's chaos: Why do we feel disconnected despite endless Zoom calls? How does eco-anxiety quietly reshape our choices? He doesn't just name these feelings-he offers clear, actionable ways to navigate them. As I listened during my commute, I kept nodding along: "Oh! That's why my team's meetings feel so stuck." The book's genius is how it turns abstract ideas into tools-like using "psychological safety" frameworks to rebuild trust at work or understanding "digital minimalism" to reclaim your attention.
What makes this audiobook special? Furnham's warmth turns dense topics into conversations. You won't feel lectured; you'll feel seen. And as a companion to Psychology 101, it's a perfect next step-no prior knowledge needed. By the end, you're not just informed; you're equipped. You'll find yourself rethinking everything: your morning routine, your work conflicts, even how you scroll. It's the kind of book that doesn't just change your perspective-it helps you live differently. If you've ever felt lost in the noise of modern life, this isn't just a listen. It's a quiet, powerful reset. You'll want to share it with everyone you know.

Adjusting the narrator's voice tone is a fun way to personalize the listening experience. The bookmark feature is fantastic. I can easily pick up where I left off. This audiobook performed its function without excelling. The narrator's delivery was straightforward and easy to follow, though lacking in dramatic flair. The recording quality was decent with only occasional minor inconsistencies in volume. An acceptable but forgettable listening experience.
