Psychology in Everyday Life

Best-selling authors David Myers'', Nathan DeWall’s, and June Gruber’s briefest introduction to psychology speaks to all students regardless of their background or level of preparedness.  The authors provide the most up-to-date coverage of the field while focusing on the most engaging and relevant content for students.  The May 2025 “Insights Report” from The Chronicle of Higher Education discussed how colleges are redefining student success to include “sense of belonging.”  Our Seventh Edition integrates content in the text and Achieve that focuses on this goal of increasing students’ sense of belonging and wellness.

Psychology in Everyday Life is a brief (less than 500 pages) but complete—and affordable—resource for students at all levels. Myers, DeWall, and Gruber have created over 80 resources in Achieve (including How Would You Know? research activities; Assess Your Strengths self-assessment activities; How to Increase Your Sense of Belonging, and Why It Matters activity; and the Lecture Slides) so there is a tight connection between the text and Achieve.
