Introduction
I have no formal training in psychology, but some of the books I first encountered were illuminating. I would like us to talk about books on psychology that might help us understand ourselves and others.
Psychology encompasses many schools of thought, each approaching human thought and behavior from a different direction.
Freud’s psychoanalysis emphasizes the influence of the unconscious and childhood on personality and behavior. Behaviorists attend more closely to observable conduct; humanistic psychology emphasizes growth and self-actualization. Cognitive psychology studies thinking, memory, learning, and problem-solving. Contemporary approaches also draw on mindfulness, neuroscience, brain research, and positive psychology’s study of well-being.
The book need not be academic. Bring anything that has influenced or helped you.

About Elsewhere Book Club
Elsewhere Book Club
The name Elsewhere comes from Milan Kundera’s Life Is Elsewhere.
Life Is Elsewhere.
We seem more inclined to imagine a golden age when looking backward or forward. Yet, in my own life, this moment and elsewhere have become inseparable, each giving meaning to the other.
Live fully in this moment. The search for elsewhere also takes place here and now.
I also arrived in Seattle recently. In an unfamiliar place, my first impulse was to start a small book club, perhaps to meet others who find steadiness in books and enjoy sustained conversation.
Mount Sumeru within a mustard seed; a mustard seed holding Mount Sumeru.
I hope this small space can give us somewhere to exchange ideas each week.
