I'm very disappointed Behave is included in this list. It's wildly out of step with recent developments in psychology, like the replication crisis. Stuart Ritchie has a good review here:
"The WEIRDest People in the World" is my current read. A fascinating book that explores the cultural and psychological dynamics that underpin the West, including the evolution of attitudes and institutions that make the West peculiar. It's also an intellectually challenging book that forces the reader to appraise what seems to be a universal truth or normal when it's indeed an attribute of the West whose growth and civilisation became the world's standard. Its most remarkable insight, so far, might be its notion that the West, being highly individualistic, enjoys a more adventurous outcome and outlook, compared to its familial and communal counterpart.
Thank you very much for the list. I want to start self-study psychology, and your list is very helpful.
