Here's my Top 10 Favourite Psychology Books (and who I would recommend them to)! I read these at different points of my life and influenced my path as a student and even now as a psychologist- there's a good mix of self-help, psychological science, lived experience and even a textbook! It's a bit of a long one so buckle in and hope you enjoy! :)
