    About this ebook

    When we think of behavior what word first comes to mind. That’s right psychology, the study of behavior. Two such maeans in which behavior can occur is through both social and environmental influences. Environmental influences can include reaching for an umbrella on a rainy day, and social influences may include playing sports because other peers are engaging in such activity. These social and environmental influences are not concrete, so too is behavior unpredictable. The unpredictability of behavior in itself may be enough reason to investigate the social and environmental influences on behavior.

    I have recently, just this month (May 2021), reached the pinnacle of my educational journey, earning my PhD. I am officially Dr. Steven G Carley. I have not had many publications over the last few years (in fact, any) because I have been working diligently on my dissertation that took me over three years to complete. I have recently published three works and am hoping to get them each to extended distribution. I never knew how difficult it was publishing to Smashwords. Once you get the hang of it not so bad. I spent a day trying to get the epub to pass the checker. It is almost enough to give-up on writing, Guess you just have to be persistent. I am considering hiring myself out as a literary agent, so I can help people publish their work. If you are interested let me know.stevecarley.us
