Sam Kean as always does an excellent job presenting the history of a scientific endeavor. He presents the anecdotes that fill psychology with appropriate skepticism and discusses the field's limitations openly.

So interesting and I learned so much. I was a bit uncomfortable with how he presented some info and some of the jokes though

This is the perfect non fictional medical book. It draws you in. Shows you humanity and science. It blends together the reason people dedicate their lives to medicine and the history behind it. If you aren't in the medical field, it's still accessible. The writing isn't so pretentious that you have to have an MD to understand it, but the content isn't watered down.
