What Psychology Teaches Us

In this foundational episode, Professor Jeff Hastings breaks down what psychology really is — not just a class or a subject, but a scientific way of understanding how we think, feel, and behave. You’ll learn about the five main goals of psychology, why it matters in your everyday life, and how this knowledge can help you better understand yourself and others. Whether you're taking a college course or just trying to make sense of your mind, this episode is your starting point.
