About the Course

What are people most afraid of? What do our dreams mean? Are we natural-born racists? What makes us happy? What are the causes and cures of mental illness? This course tries to answer these questions and many others, providing a comprehensive overview of the scientific study of thought and behavior. It explores topics such as perception, communication, learning, memory, decision-making, persuasion, emotions, and social behavior. We will look at how these aspects of the mind develop in children, how they differ across people, how they are wired-up in the brain, and how they break down due to illness and injury....

This was my second course using this site, and with Professor Bloom, and once again it was great. I've genuinely learnt a lot, and I've found a new love for psychology I never would have found before.

A very comprehensive course, giving you the insights into the field of psychology, even with no prior background of psychology, and containing interesting references and examples throughout the course

This course was informational and enlightening. I feel what I have been taught has enhanced my knowledge of psychology. It's also not too challenging but not easy either, so it's completely stress-free.

Professor Bloom just made psychology a dozen times simpler to understand. I come from a non-psychology background and for me the experience was phenomenal ,educative ,calming and precise.

Thank you sir.

Prof. Bloom is a charming tutor. His simple language and easy to grasp voice makes this course great for beginners. I also want to appreciate the animator who's behind this exceptional work. Great job!

Fantastic course. Clearly thought through and laid out, and the animations are a blast. And I think it was actually narrated in a lecture hall, which adds to the overall experience. Highly recommended.

The course was really good but I felt that the last session regarding to happiness was not as deep as the rest of the course. I feel we can learn much more of that... it was a bit shallow at the end.

Es un curso es bastante interesante , aborda los temas de manera general, pero las lecturas sirven por si quieres adentrar más en un tema. Los vídeos son bastante dinámicos, me agrado mucho el curso.

Excellent course for an introduction to the world of psychology. It's a shame there isn't enough time to deepen into some of these topics, such as psychology or mental illness, which are fascinating.
