Somehow, I have ended up writing a couple of psychology books. I try to make them entertaining, well-researched, and practical. (But I’m not making any promises.)

 

Here’s my bias about human minds: even when they seem to be working against us, they are almost always trying to help us. The User’s Guide to the Human Mind is about living with the mind when the mind is driving us crazy. Rather than fighting against it, it is possible to notice what it’s doing, appreciate the beauty of it (or at least appreciate the survival value of it) and live as we wish.Learn more at guidetothemind.com. You can also pre-order from Amazon or Barnes & Noble.New Harbinger Publications, 2011.

An Amazon.com reviewer described Surviving Aggressive People this way: “It is a brilliant tool book to avoiding and dealing with conflict. It lays out ground rules of how to act and react to conflict. It also gives an idea of what type of people start conflicts and why they do. Personally I found the book to be very interesting because Smith uses real life scenarios that anyone can relate to.” It’s gratifying to know that the book has received perfect five-star reader reviews.It’s available at Amazon and Barnes and Noble, though it is getting a bit scarce. If you have trouble finding a copy, feel free to email me and we’ll find a way to get one to you.Sentient Publications, 2003.
